Clicking on the down arrow shows you the full list of options. In this case it highlights one of the pitfalls of mashing up RSS feeds, because there are several different date tags in use, which I've circled in red.
The most popular RSS formats use a 'pubDate' tag to date feed items. But RSS 1.0 mostly uses 'dc:date' and the up-and-coming Atom format, favored by Blogger, uses 'published'.
Pipes can't sort feeds on all three of these date formats at the same time, although the design team are working on it and hope to have a solution soon.
