Hi Paul, I totally forgot about this post. Sorry.
So I do have the Simpli quick start installed with sample data on a test site and that does have the Date for Ordering field but in the 3 new sites I'm building using just the newest version of the Simpli template (not the quick start) - there is no Date for Ordering field.
Not sure I know what you mean when you ask if I'm "able to add a link .............."
