Meaningful time filter and sorting in search and view results

I constantly find myself blocked by the absence of meaningful time filters to add to either searches of views.

One of the most natural ways to leverage my notes is by searching for specific terms. However, they recur fairly often. So I keep getting drowned with search (or view) results which come in no logical sorting order - making finding the one note I look for virtually impossible.

Just sorting by creation date would already be helpful - but doesn't seem to be possible. Being able to FIRST filter on a specific date range and THEN sort would even be more helpful.

Maybe I'm blind, but after a lot of searching, this important feature seems to be completely missing (....and I'm happy for any indication that proves me wrong !).

Needless to say: it would be great if this was possilbe both on the CREATION and LAST_MODIFICATION date.... which most surely exist for any object in your system.
