Research direction
Start by locating the logic that parses columns named "date" before passing data to Plot, then trace how UI options are defined. Clarify the date formats and the intended column-selection behavior; done means a user can mark a column as a date and that column is parsed before reaching Plot.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Currently, only columns that are named "date" are parsed as dates before passing along to Plot. We should have some UI option to say "treat this column as a date". Maybe require YYYY-MM-DD formats, or whatever can be passed into new Date()?
