Mike great work in a this but I find the date system really difficult to read. Could we have them in a system that makes it easy to read say '10th January 2014'? Thanks for your consideration. Jon Davies (WMUK) (talk) 17:35, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

They're in standard YYYY-MM-DD format... :-/ Having them in text format would mean that they're no longer sortable. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 17:43, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
Actually dates in many formats (including 10 January 2014) are sortable - see w:help:sorting. Thryduulf (talk: local | en.wp | en.wikt) 23:22, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
{{sort}}
Then again, perhaps it's worth considering what purpose a sortable table serves here. The content is already sorted by date, and sorting text alphabetically isn't a great navigational aid, serving only to group similar items. But it's not my table.
