Sort by Date/Time

If the item has a date in the same format as Zotero's Date Added and Modified formats (mm/dd/yyyy, hh:mm:ss AM/PM), such as 8/21/2020, 5:26:00 PM, and there is a list of such items in a subcollection, there seems to be an issue sorting according to date then time. That is, sorting seems to rely on the date, and not the time. Am I doing something wrong with the formatting?
  • I sorted the items by Extra field using format: yyyymmddhhmm such as 202008211546 but this is not ideal.
  • Zotero doesn't currently do anything with the time portion — it's not even parsed. (If it were, we'd show it in the parsing indicator to the right of the Date field.)
