Possible Bug in Date Tagging

I love love LOVE the date tagging feature, but either I'm not using the correct term in a particular case, or I've uncovered a bug.

If today is Tuesday, September 14, 2021, and I type in "Sunday", I get a suggestion for this upcoming Sunday, September 19, 2021. However, if I type in "last Sunday", I get a suggestion for Sunday, September 5, 2021. I would expect to get a suggestion for Sunday, September 12, 2021, but the only way I can find to get that date suggested is to use "two days ago". This seems to be true for trying to get any date that is within the past 7 days -- using just the day gives me the date for the first occurrence of that day in the future, but using "last <day_name>" gives me the last occurrence of that day that is over 7 days ago. There doesn't seem to be a way to get a date within the past seven days without doing the math and asking for "x days ago".

Am I missing something simple? Is this a bug, or is this working as designed?

Thanks for all your team does! Workflowy truly is amazing, in both its power and its simplicity!

  I've been caught out many times with this also and agree with Evan.

  I would assume 'last Sunday' was the Sunday just gone. At the moment 'last Sunday' translates to 'two Sundays ago'
