I know it is possible to sort nodes in a fetch operator function but is it possible to sort them by the date they were initially created?

Is 'sort_by', 'published' not what you want?

No, I don't want to sort them by "published date" but by "creation date". Sorting by "published" sorts nodes based on creation date of the last published version. But I wan't to sort them by the creation date of the object, that is the creation date of the first version that was created. Is this possible somehow?

I doubt the documentation is right about that.
The published date only is initialized when the object gets published for the first time (it's still 0). The modified time is changed every time a new version is published.
See kernel/content/ezcontentoperationcollection.php function setObjectStatusPublished, starting from line 184 on trunk rev. 16527
if ( $object->attribute( 'published' ) == 0 ) { $object->setAttribute( 'published', mktime() ); } $object->setAttribute( 'modified', mktime() );

Yes Kristof, you're right I just verified it on my site. I think the documentation should be changed in order not to confuse people.
