title: jQuery: How can I work with dates in this format? mm/yyyy
body: <p>I'm doing a web application for articles<br>
  Articles must be shown by month, with its published date stored as mm/yyyy</p>
  
  <p>Now:</p>
  
  <p>1- Should I use a DATE type field for storing?<br>
  2- Will jQuery UI datePicker be useful for showing mm/yyyy?<br>
  3- How could I sort by mm/yyyy?</p>
  
  <p>I guess it will be more complicated if I store date normally and extract the day from date each time I want to do something, right?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,</p>
