Now I have looked at the source for NewPageBoxPlus it seems to be 
straightforward to do what I need.

I'll amend NewPageBoxPlus to optionally set the page ctime to be the 
same as the date derived from the page name. This can be useful if you 
have a blog and want to create pages that have a different date to 
today's date. If the page name in yyyyddmm format and the ctime are the 
same you can order pages by ctime in page lists and the order will 
correspond to the page name in yyyyddmm format. Hope that makes sense!
