Automating the Date on Forms

I have set up a new form for customer orders with a 'Date in' option however, I would like it to be set to todays date automatically.

Is this possible or will we need to fill todays date in each time an entry is submitted?

Thank you in advance!

Instead of bringing all items with date values to the top of the sheeting and sorting them in ascending order, it leaves a gap.
