A huge thank you to THS for adding the new search facility whereby to can sort sits by start date. For sitters who have specific dates in mind this is a massive help and will save time searching through for the date needed. šŸ‘ŒšŸ¤— ---

Couldnā€™t see it on the app which I use but found it on the desktop version. Nice! ![Screenshot_20240809-105447](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/trustedhousesitters/original/3X/9/f/9fa7cd5ca105f6b31c5a8f76cb578323bf75255a.png) ---

Great addition ( but it would be nice to combine filters - especially the distance one with the start date ) The ā€œrecommendedā€ filter could be scrapped altogether itā€™s just sits with low applications . ---

Could we now concentrate on getting the new sits filter to work as it should? ---

Hi @Kbco I have it on the app. The only thing I am finding annoying about it is that the search by start date does not ā€˜stickā€™ on saved searches so pretty useless in that respect. ---

It is on the app, maybe see if the app needs an update but itā€™s definitely on mine. ---

I keep expecting to sort by date and Reverse it, like so many sort filters on other sites. Itā€™s August and Iā€™m looking for sits in January/February. So I sort by date and then spend an hour clicking to the next screen. ---

I find it easier to narrow down the search by adding the location (country) and date parameters you are looking for ie 1st January to 31st March then sort by date shows everything from 1st January. Hope this helps šŸ¤—
