Question Sort pages in word using dates

Hi all

I have a tricky question, I will do my best to explain it (english is not my first language)

In my work, I have clients coming with lots of documents (letters and doctor notes), usually not sorted by date, despite me asking them to do so before

So I have to sort them, either manually, before scanning, or inside word or acrobat after scanning, usually I use finereader to convert the scans to readable text, then I run a Macro I made in word, to convert all the dates in the document to this format dd/mm/yyyy

Is there some sort of plugin, that can read the date in each letterhead (usually located at the top right of the first page of each letter/mail inside the word document) and then automatically rearrange the pages to put the letters in the right order inside the document

...so I won't have to waste time rearranging the pages inside word before having them in the right chronological order

I don't think there is a simple way to do this, but still, I'd like to ask

Thank you
