Hi everybody

I'm looking for a filter o similar function to resolve the next problem in my solr index: I have a string field that it contains a date but each record of this field can be in diferent formats. Now I have to sort by this field and for this I have to normalize this field. I've thought create a new kind of field and to use a index filter to transform to date UTC, but I do not find a similar filter to do it.

I think that I have to developed a custom index filter to take string, look for a possible date pattern, and transform to date.
What do you think about this?
Somebody can confirm me, that this way is the best way? or is there any options?

thanks
