[support] Sorting with multiple dates

[Vaibhav Jain]

Chris,

For showing only 2 items, you can use Distinct Node, which will fetch only
distinct results, hence removing any duplicates.

Secondly, for the dates, you will have to add another check, where date is
higher than todays or some specified date, I believe this should help you
in fetching the desired result.
