Starting with -r86088 MW uses a "completely rewritten table sorting script" (/resources/jquery/jquery.tablesorter.js) This doesn't behave like before, when using a date format like dd.mm.yyyy (quite common in german). Example: {| class="sortable" |- ! Date |- |11.11.2011 |- |01.11.2011 |- |02.10.2011 |- |03.08.2011 |- |09.11.2011 |} used to work in MW before, but isn't sorted correct now. It results in 01.11.2011 02.10.2011 03.08.2011 09.11.2011 11.11.2011 For backwards compatibility this should be fixed. Sorry for my poor english ;)
Fixed in r87243
We should add test cases for this sort of regression; should be possible to do these with the qunit system. See under tests/qunit/jquery & the info at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:JavaScript_unit_testing Basic test structure should go something like this: * create an HTML table with known structure * apply the table sorter setup on it * trigger the table sort for a particular column * iterate over the table to confirm it sorted correctly ** report success/errors * remove table & return
Test cases for this bug added in r90619.
