categoryFilter for views categorized by date values

How can I set the filter "categoryFilter" of a datasource <xp:dominoView> if this view is categorized by a date value.
 
I tried "everything" e.g.
- @Date(@TextToTime(...))
- var ret:NotesDataTime = session.createDateTime(...;
  ret.setAnyTime()

but none of these tries brought me success.
 
Or do I have to use the property "keys"?

Re: categoryFilter for views categorized by date values
It's far from a solution but I always convert my dates to plain text in the views because of this problem.
If you convert your date in the xpage to text too, then it will work for the category filter... but, I know...
If anyone has a better solution...

Re: categoryFilter for views categorized by date values
 Werner,
 
I also had such kind of issue. The idea is that what type of date are being sorted? NotesDateTime or Java dateTime? The problem may be that you use java DateTime values to sort NotesDateTime values in documents, and this will not work. Converting dates to text will result in wrong sorting. I managed to solve the problem by converting dates to long and sorting(comparing in my case) them. 
Hope this may be of help for you
