::::: Okay done. <code><nowiki>{{dts||10|25}}</nowiki></code> will show as {{dts||10|25}}; it will be sorted along with other dates that ''do'' have years, and it's year will be considered as whatever the current year is (so in this case, it would be sorted as <code>2008-10-25</code>). <font face="Verdana">[[User:Gary King|<font color="#02b">Gary&nbsp;<b>King</b></font>]]&nbsp;([[User talk:Gary King|<font color="#02e">talk</font>]])</font> 21:19, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

== Approximate dates ==

Is it possible to use this table with approximate dates? I'm thinking of dates in the format "c.", "before", "after", "16/17 November" etc. The question relates to [[List of the titled nobility of England and Ireland 1300–1309]] which is currently nominated for FL, where it has been suggested that a sortable list be used. I've found this problematic with so many approximate dates. [[User:Lampman|Lampman]] ([[User talk:Lampman|talk]]) 13:24, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
