::It could be used, for example, if the date is given as "ca. 200 BC", "November 25 and 29, 1941" or "present", if the date is something the template can't handle (ranges, for example are currently unsupported) or if some other calendar is being used (e.g. Arabic dates, tables with a mix of Julian and Gregorian dates, lunar calandar dates).

==Reverse Date Sorting==
 
Is there any way to use dts to sort most recent to least recent by default? <small><span class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Jeremyfrankly|Jeremyfrankly]] ([[User talk:Jeremyfrankly|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Jeremyfrankly|contribs]]) 16:43, 17 June 2014 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:Dts doesn't do that. It just emits the dates in a sortable way. When you set up the sorting, you need to specify that there. [[User:Jackmcbarn|Jackmcbarn]] ([[User talk:Jackmcbarn|talk]]) 16:52, 17 June 2014 (UTC)
