Hi @barneser,
after a stats command, you have only the fields that you used in the stats command.
So in your example, after the first stats command you have only count(cn1) and cs2, you haven't more date_mday or other fields.
If you need another field you have to add it to stats command using values or earliest (for dates).
For more infos see at https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.0.0/SearchReference/Stats .

Anyway, if you could describe better what you want to have as result, I could help you, because I don't understand your requisite.

In other words, if you run a statistic for cs2, what do you mean with "sort by date"?

Ciao.
Giuseppe
