Upgrade StorageDate in various different formats + save only year of paper
As can be seen in this screenshot

in my library the date of the papers are saved in dozens of different formats (1990, 1-1-1990, 1/1/1990, Sunday 1 1990).
It's very confusing and it's impossible to order by date.
How can I have only the year, and for the future have the browser connector save only the year?

A future version of Zotero will likely show the date in a consistent format when parsed fully, but there's no effect on sorting here, and Zotero isn't going to throw away meaningful data.
*Some* of this data is not meaningful at all.
For instance an article published on 1th April 2016, the "1st" doesn't mean anything. Only that it's the April issue of the journal.
Equivalently, a boo published on "1st January 2001" was not published on New Year's Day really.
I wish we could be more consistent in how dates are displayed
