When adding using date fields in views they are severely reduced in functionality when they are compared to what can be done using standard date implementation for fields like the changed and created.

This includes things like being able to use custom date formats and also having many more default date formats.

Thanks.

Just as a quick aside, to quickly get around this I did the following in hook_views_data_alter().

/**
 * Implementation of hook_views_data_alter().
 */
function gs_views_data_alter(&$data) {
  $data['node_data_field_match_date']['field_match_date_value']['field']['handler'] = 'views_handler_field_date';
}

Do this gave me the functionality that I needed very quickly.

Unfortunately the Drupal 6 version of the Date module is no longer supported. That said, we appreciate that you took time to work on this issue. Should this request still be relevant for Drupal 7 please feel free to reopen it. Thank you.
