===== DateList classifier =====
//Classifier plugin for sorting by date. By default, sorts by 'Date' metadata. Dates are assumed to be in the form yyyymmdd or yyyy-mm-dd.//
        
The following table lists all of the configuration options available for DateList. 

^Option^Description^Value^
^//DateList Options//^^^
| **metadata** |(REQUIRED) The metadata that contains the dates to classify by. The format is expected to be yyyymmdd or yyyy-mm-dd. Can be a comma separated list, in which case the first date found will be used. |//Default: Date//  |
| **sort** |An extra metadata field to sort by in the case where two documents have the same date. |  |
| **reverse_sort** |Sort the documents in reverse chronological order (newest first). |  |
| **bymonth** |Classify by year and month instead of only year. |  |
| **nogroup** |Make each year an individual entry in the horizontal list, instead of spanning years with few entries. (This can also be used with the -bymonth option to make each month a separate entry instead of merging). |  |
| **no_special_formatting** |Don't display Year and Month information in the document list. |  |
^//Options Inherited from [[BaseClassifier]]//^^^
| **buttonname** |The label for the classifier screen and button in navigation bar. The default is the metadata element specified with -metadata. |  |
| **no_metadata_formatting** |Don't do any automatic metadata formatting (for sorting.) |  |
| **builddir** |Where to put the built indexes. |  |
| **outhandle** |The file handle to write output to. |//Default: STDERR//  |
