group list of nodes by year using custom date field? using CCK/Views/Date module

i am trying to get a list of all nodes listed by year on one page (not by sending arguments) like so:

2005
title...
title...
title...

2006
title...
title...
title...

2007
title...
title...
title...

how can i get this done?

my limitation is that i have a content type with a custom date field. (i do not want to list by node_created value).

i tried using "group values by date" using tips found around the site:
http://drupal.org/node/101022 and
http://drupal.org/node/160681

but, it groups them by their specific date, and i can't seem to limit it by year. i'm looking for a function like 'group by year of custom date field' where i can use filters in views to specify which nodes to display in the archives.

does that exist?

am i missing any other links on the site ?

any advice is welcome!
