Works perfectly as described.

a useful add-on for my favorite plugin (Display Posts), which works exactly as described

This works… but it’s odd that it is a a separate plugin. The parent “Display Posts” plugin has more than 100,000 active installations while this plugin has fewer than 100. Couldn’t “dateView” (and the few other views this plugin provides) just be optional parameters for [display-posts] and this plugin can be removed?
