Is it possible to sort a view by when the node was published, instead of updated, created, etc?

I am creating a site where the nodes will periodically be published, then unpublished, then published again at a later date. I would like the nodes to appear sorted based on when they were last published, which wouldn't necessarily be when they were last edited or updated.

Is this at all possible?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Only if whatever does the publishing has a field that stores that data. There's nothing in core Drupal to store that. So the answer is probably no.
