What issue do you have?

My notes in Joplin are sorted by title. These titles often include a date (DD.MM.), and this isn't recognized correctly:
Instead of "01.01., 02.01., 03.01. [...], 01.02., 02.02., 03.02.“
Joplin sorts them as ”01.01., 01.02., 01.03. [...], 02.01., 02.02., 02.03." etc.

Is there a way to solve this problem without renaming all entries to MM-DD or moving them manually?

That's pretty logical behaviour to me. You'll have to change your date format prefix if you want the sorting to work the way you want.

Yes, it's logical, otherwise I would've posted a bug report. I'm just hoping someone else has the same problem (and has found a solution). I was looking for a plugin or something that might work similar to how Excel recognizes dates and sorts correctly or how iTunes back in the day sorted "The Beatles" under B instead of T...
