Is there any way to make a [[MOS:DATERANGE]] sort to the correct chronological position in both ascending and descending displays? For example in [[Jack Deam#Filmography]] the date ranges sort by the first date in the range, which is correct if sorting oldest first but gives incorrect chronological order when using date sorting to display most recent at the top where it is the end of the range date that determines correct chronological order.

:I believe not although you might check at [[WP:VPT]]. As I far as I know, each column has a single sort key which is used for both ascending and descending ordering. For example, <code>2016–2022</code> cannot be sorted by 2016 in one direction and 2022 in the other. I don't think it matters much for the example given. If it were a big deal, two columns would be needed, one for the first date and another for the last. [[User:Johnuniq|Johnuniq]] ([[User talk:Johnuniq|talk]]) 02:53, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

The [[Decolonisation of Asia]] article has a table with a cell containing the date 2524 BC. This template throws an error if used with this date. [[User:Wtmitchell|Wtmitchell]] [[User talk:Wtmitchell|(talk)]] <small>(earlier ''Boracay Bill'')</small> 00:16, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
