Outlook Email Date by Numbers

We often have to look up an email by its date. I cannot, for example, easily remember whether the 27th was "Tuesday" of last week. Or what date "Mon" is. In any event, we NEVER look up an email by its day of the week. This forces us to scroll through a lot of messages or go to taskbar and calendars to see what day of the week the 27th was.,

It would be SO much quicker/easier to simply have the email listed as "Apr-27" instead of "Tuesday".

Is there any way of having Outlook show the date this way in the message preview list?

TIA for any help.
