Plone 4 - customize “related items” screen

Question

how can I customize the "related items" screen? I want to display the date (effective) and make the list to appear in chronological order.

Answer 1

Related items is an Archetypes field declared in Products.ATContentTypes package:

You could override the template of the widget, in your own content type, or in all existing Plone contents via monkey-patching:
