Answers.Body: <p>No, the only Date/Time fields you can sort entries in Craft by are Post Date, Expiry Date, Date Created or Date Updated. You can't sort your entries in Craft by a <em>custom</em> Date/Time field.</p>
  
  <p>Craft does allow you to define which fields you would like visible when viewing your sections in the control panel. To test this out, I created a new Date/Time field and tried to sort my entries by that field, but wasn't able.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit</strong></p>
  
  <p>I should also mention that Craft entries are sortable in the control panel by this dropdown field, but only by the Date/Time fields mentioned above:</p>

  No, the only Date/Time fields you can sort entries in Craft by are Post Date, Expiry Date, Date Created or Date Updated. You can't sort your entries in Craft by a *custom* Date/Time field.
  
  Craft does allow you to define which fields you would like visible when viewing your sections in the control panel. To test this out, I created a new Date/Time field and tried to sort my entries by that field, but wasn't able.
  
  **Edit**
  
  I should also mention that Craft entries are sortable in the control panel by this dropdown field, but only by the Date/Time fields mentioned above:
