I am working with a directory of PDFs which have been scanned from actual documents in a file cabnet. When viewing a folder's contents in windows by clicking the tabs above the information users are able to logically sort files by many types of information including `file name`, `date modified`, and `file type` being some of the most popular. 

I wish to be able to sort by the date listed on the hard copies but currently their date is from the day which they were scanned (`date created` or `date modified`) which is irrelevant here.

Is there anyay I can add another tab to the top like `DateOfOriginal` above and also edit that information field for each file so they can be sorted by the date which I will have to enter for each pdf? Primarily all i need to do is sort by A date which I enter

And is it also possible to do this with folders?
