Would adding the ability to sort by a date TV be something easily done for Archivist? I don't have the know how to put this together myself but it cases where you want to do an archive for an event list instead of a blog I think it would be helpful to be able to sort by a TV for the event date as apposed to the publish date.

+1 for that feature request.
Even though this question is over 1 a year old, I think it is worth answering.
I had a quick look at the code and from what I have learned, it can't be done easily. Trying to find a workaround that doesn't depend on hacking archivist. If I find one, I'll post it here, but don't expect anything soon.

OK, this is a bit hacky AND might be for some reason COMPLETLY stupid, but I solved the probem this way:
1. This only works if createdon is not important for you in any way.
2. Overwrite "createdon" with a plugin that gets triggered everytime the document is saved:
/*
Copy value of a dateTV into createdon field onDocFormSave event
*/
$tvName = "Name-of-your-Date-TV"; /* Example: event-start */
$templateID = "ID-of-the-Template-where-the-plugin-should-be-triggered"; /* Example: 10 */
switch ($modx->event->name) {
case 'OnDocFormSave':
if ($resource->get('template') != templateID) {
return;
}
$date = strtotime($resource->getTVValue($tvName));
$resource->set('createdon',$date);
$resource->save();
break;
}
return;
3. Set the sortBy parameter in archivist and getArchives to "createdon".
