[FoxyTab] [Feature Request] sort url by date string pattern

[fladrinar]

I collect a lot of news articles, waiting to be read. They often have YYYY/MM or YYYY/MM/DD as part of the url to the article. I'd like to be able to ignore the domain and subpaths and sort based on those date strings embedded in the url. Of course, some sites don't embed the date at all, so a fallback to domain or whatever.

e.g. 4 different news source styles:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/arts-entertainment/2021/08/20/willam-shatner-awesome-con/ https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/26/technology/qr-codes-tracking.html https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2021/08/fungi-endangered-neglected/619757/ https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/aug/23/tennessee-floods-flash-flooding-death-toll-damage

That is very specific. Let's see if there is a popular demand first ad then see if it is possible to actually do it. Looking at your examples, it is not straight forward to sort them by date string as they use different format.
