Description Jesse (Pathoschild) 2007-10-27 20:12:24 UTC 
The sortable tables script in wikibits.js ([[m:Help:Sorting]]) does not recognize the standard yyyy-mm-dd format, nor does it resort to numerical sorting (it does nothing at all when the user tries to sort by that column).

The following date formats are supported:
* dd-mm-yyyy (27-10-2007)
* dd-mm-yy (27-10-07)
* dd-mmm-yyyy (27-Oct-2007)
Comment 1 Brion Vibber 2007-12-04 21:59:08 UTC 
Special handling shouldn't be required, as a standard text sort should return correct results for this date format.

That it does *nothing*, though, is a bit odd!
Comment 2 Jesse (Pathoschild) 2007-12-04 22:53:20 UTC 
Meta overrides the script with an improved version, and this date format works correctly on other projects:

The problem should be in [[m:MediaWiki:Common.js]], then. I suppose this bug should be closed, since it's not an issue with the MediaWiki code?
