Fixed blog order

[ikoevska]

What I did:

• ordered the collection by the custom 'order'
• extended the functionality of the custom order plugin to capture the date properly, not only the first number sequence in the file name
• extended the functionality of the custom order plugin to the blog folder as well

Attempts to solve: #55

@rigor789 Can you take a look?

@ikoevska just checked but I'm not sure if this solves the problem (which seems to only happen sometimes), from a quick test

const t = "2018-02-12-nativescript-vue-1.0-and-a-new-site.md"
const a = t.match(/^(\d+)-/)
const b = t.match(/^((\d+)-)+/)

console.log(a[1]) // 2018
console.log(b[1]) // 12-

I don't think the order will be accurate when it's set to 12-

Maybe we could convert the date to a timestamp, which can then be sorted/ordered

Weird. I'll get back to the drawing board :D

Hey @rigor789 second attempt :) This time it seems like it would work.

Turned out res[0] is what got the right match that we needed. I am stripping the hyphens from it and passing it along.

const t = "2018-02-12-nativescript-vue-1.0-and-a-new-site.md"
const a = t.match(/^(\d+)-/)
const b = t.match(/^((\d+)-)+/)

console.log(a[0].replace(/-/g, '')) //2018
console.log(b[0].replace(/-/g, '')) //20180212

const y = "03-some-ordered-file-name.md"
const c = y.match(/^(\d+)-/)
const d = y.match(/^((\d+)-)+/)

console.log(c[0].replace(/-/g, '')) //03
console.log(d[0].replace(/-/g, '')) //03

This looks good - and I think it should be working, but for some reason the order is still wrong in the build :/

I can dig a little deeper next week, don't waste any more time on this - could be a bug in metalsmith-collections!

Oh, well, I'm still interested in making this one work but I'll be abandoning it for now.
