== Date table sorting template: Day and month,. Many other date formats ==

{{anchor|Date table sorting template}}

The simplest way to format sortable dates in a table is to use the '''{{tl|Date table sorting}}''' template. A redirect: '''{{tl|dts}}'''

It can be used with many date formats mixed together. Note the many formats used '''[[List of PC games (A)|here]].''' See template[[Template:Date documentationtable sorting]] for more info.

See example tables below. They all sort correctly. The wikitext for the first entry in each table in the first row is shown in the table header.

'''Note:''' None of the table columns use the <code>data-sort-type=</code> modifier. Using <code>data-sort-type=</code> can sometimes break sorting when used with the template. If you want the column to be narrower, you can use month abbreviations ('''''abbr=on''''' parameter). You can also allow the text to wrap ('''''nowrap=off''''' parameter). Use '''''format=dmy''''' or '''''format=mdy''''', etc. to control output format, if desired.
