Hi Markus
At first, I thought keep the original field and create a new field using
function "Copying Fields
<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Copying+Fields>". For
this reason, I thought it was better choice to use a filter function in
destiny field. However I am going to studied your suggestion.
A lot of thanks.

Hello - i would opt for having a date field, and a custom update processor that
converts a string date via DateUtils.parseDate() to an actual Date object. I
think this would be a much simpler approach than a custom field or token filter.

Subject: filters to work with dates
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.
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Filter+Descriptions
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
