How can I get rows between dates in rethinkdb?

Question

Following the answer here, I'm getting the latest rows out of my table by indexing the 'date' field and querying like this:

table.orderBy({index: r.desc("date")})

How can I filter between dates if the 'date' values are implemented as strings (e.g "2013-12-31" or "2013-12-31 22:22:22")?

table.between(date1, data2).orderBy(...)
