I’m using the [Kirby-Index-Field](https://github.com/jongacnik/kirby-index-field) plugin and it’s great, however, I need to format the dates in one of the columns. It’s currently outputting `2018-07-26T13:01:45+00:00 ` ideally, I need something like `26-07-2018`. The description says you can do this through a filter, but I’m not sure how to use the template code given. Any pointers in the right direction would be appreciated.

```
<?php

class MyDataFilters {
  static function myfilterfunc($data) {
    // filter data here
    return $data;
  }
}

```
