How do you do your date field so it is chronologically ordered

For instance June 5 1872, I am putting 18720605 in that field and it does not order it chronologically. I've tried 1872 0605 and that doesn't work either. What do you use so it correctly notes the date in a chronological order?

Zotero parses the date for you. You can just enter it as "June 5, 1872".

(though 1872-06-05 will work)
