Checking and validating dates

Hi, is it possible to flag up when users enter dates that are out of sequence or have gaps?

 

I am capturing start and end dates for employment. I want to make sure that users cannot enter a finish date that is before the start date they have entered for the same job.

I also want to highlight if there are any gaps between jobs

I also want to calculate the duration of each job

Is any of this possible in Typeform?
