Consistence Date Format for models (sorting problems)

[tmushayahama]

Some of the new ZFIN models and imports have a date of format yyyy-m-d without padding i.e. 2020-3-1 and while some created with noctua have format yyyy-mm-dd i.e. 2020-03-01. From sorting point of view, these are different dates since dates are treated as strings in noctua search api. Is it possible to just have same format yyyy-mm-dd Otherwise landing page search will not sort properly for default view (recent models)

As you can see here, by default this is sorted by recent date and March appears recent than September

Ooo, good catch @tmushayahama! These YYYY-M-D dates are likely all coming from MOD import models, and I just happened to fix this (at @kltm's urging) in the MOD import conversion code. See biolink/ontobio@c862bd2. Though you won't notice the corrections until we regenerate all of the MOD import models. I think these are fixed for MGI and WB, but not yet ZFIN. ZFIN should just be a matter of days.
