story mode channel

When using story mode for the channel it would be nice to be able to set an option that would move stories over so many days old to the archive and to be able to set the archive to group stories within the archive by year and month of the selected date from the story.

Also, it would be nice to have an option to set a date to publish when using story mode channel.

I guess that this would be more like a "natural monthly" edition type setting.
