i gave each of my documents a special field named date and I put in a normalized Lucene date with a precision of one day. This date is yyyymmdd so that it can be sorted. having done that, however, I am unsure how to ask Lucene to sort on that date, but I'll figure it out in time or someone will tell me.

"Index the date". Do you mean, index date, or the document date?

Could this be in a LIA book?

Sure, check out the Sort class and the overloaded IndexSearcher.search
() methods that take a Sort.  You will need to index the date in a
sortable way. DateTools provides handy methods for this purpose.
