:I think this has been resolved? As explained in an edit summary, dts is for use in sortable tables. [[User:Johnuniq|Johnuniq]] ([[User talk:Johnuniq|talk]]) 06:17, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

== Changed the date format in the first point of the [[Template:Dts#What it solves|What it solves section]] ==

First example for the raison-d'être was:

<blockquote>1/8/2013 sorts alphanumerically before 5/3/1967, because ''1'' is less than ''5'';</blockquote>

This ambiguous format (m/d/yyyy? d/m/yyyy?) already must not be used on WP, which made for an invalid argument.

{{diff2|826344609|Changed it to dmy}}:

<blockquote>1 August 2013 sorts alphanumerically before 5 March 1967, because ''1'' is less than ''5'';

</blockquote>
