If you map the date to the collector.date property you can use the
allInFolderPriorityDateDesc or allInSubTreePriorityDateDesc collectors
to sort by that date - note that the collector.priority property must
be the same.

If this doesn't do it for you you have to write your own collector - you
might still want to map the date to some property so you don't have to
parse every resource during collection.
