Line 58: 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) : That's not possible with the current code. Regarding implementing it, I think it'd be easier to write custom code for the specific article rather than rewriting this template. Just use {{tl\|sort}} to do what you want; the first parameter is for sorting, the second is for what you actually want to appear. <font face="Verdana">[[User:Gary King\|<font color="#02b">Gary <b>King</b></font>]] ([[User talk:Gary King\|<font color="#02e">talk</font>]])</font> 16:24, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
