Hi all,

I have a table where one column consists of inactive dates, such as this:

   | Date             | OK? |
   |------------------+-----|
   | [2009-01-30 Fri] | x   |
   | [2009-01-27 Tue] | x   |
   | [2009-01-28 Wed] | x   |

I can't sort the table by that column.  If I change the dates to active, then
sorting (by time) works fine.  Is this behavior intentional?
