Am I missing the option to filter by greater than / less than? I would like to split a list of multi-day events into current ( ex. “start” is _less_ than today & and “end” is _greater_ than today), recent, and upcoming. I can do this in the backend but I have to make three+ api calls every time the page is loaded instead of one… and I can’t do it with static collections at all. ![Snip20220928_6](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/weweb/original/2X/4/4b8b8486119b66967ec2cc651598ad93e1389a3e.png) Maybe this is possible by binding with a formula? Thank you! ---

the datatype of the date is string, so that is the reason. How do you collect the date value? ---

Ok I see that now. Xano “date” option comes through as a string like “2022-09-10”. I created a new field as a timestamp and it works. Thank you
