How can I filter the result I get from the query:
GET /\_cat/indices?h=h,s,i,id,p,r,dc,dd,ss,creation.date.string
to all indexes from specific creation.date.
Thanks
Yael

You cannot use the `creation.date` in your query.
Please read - [Searching Indexes based on Index Creation date](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/searching-indexes-based-on-index-creation-date/52684)
Alternatively, you can sort. and then copy&paste to a spreadsheet for example.
```auto
GET /_cat/indices?h=h,s,i,id,p,r,dc,dd,ss,creation.date.string&s=creation.date.string:desc
```
