well, here's what i did:

----- $GSDLHOME/collect/<colname>/etc/collect.cfg: -----

classify AZCompactList -metadata lastmodified -sort Title
-buttonname "last modified" -mingroup 1

[...]

format CL<number>VList
"<td>[link][icon][/link]</td><td>{If}{[parent:Title], [highlight]<script
type=text/javascript>my_date([Title])</script>[/highlight], [Title]
}</td>"

----- $GSDLHOME/macros/extra.dm: -----

package document

{

[...custom javascript goes here...]

}
