Hi Alan,

it is a good idea not to do this!
You would break the Microsoft support boundaries.

Modifying the posting will modify the last modified date. That is as
expected.
You could create a custom property and copy the last modified date there and
then implement a sort routine based on this custom property.

Cheers,
Stefan.
