Default Allowing Temporary Sorting

I have a form that I always want to appear with the records displayed in sort
order. The end users may sort the data by any column desired, but whenever
the form is displayed I want it to open up with the records sorted by Date.
The form is based upon a query which identified that the DATE field should be
sorted in Ascending order. The properties of the form have also been
updated to reflect that the records should be "Ordered by" DATE.

Whenever a user opens the form and sorts by an alternate field the form
retains the sort order of the last user even though the form does not request
to save the layout changes. How can I prevent this from happening?
