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
