Template:Sort date range

File:Test Template Info-Icon - Version (2).svg Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

{{sdrTemplate:Sdr}}

This template is used to create a table cell with a date range that will sort correctly based on the first parameter (the "from" date). A line break is inserted before the "to" date unless a third parameter is given (any value will work).

Usage

{{Sort date range |from_date |to_date [|y] }}

Examples

This code: {{Sort date range|April 1, 2016|March 31, 2018}}
produces: data-sort-value="April 1, 2016" | April 1, 2016 – March 31, 2018
This code: {{Sort date range|April 1, 2016|March 31, 2018|y}}
produces: data-sort-value="April 1, 2016" | April 1, 2016 – March 31, 2018
This code:

{| class="wikitable sortable"
! Name
! In office
! Party
|-
| Bob
| {{Sdr|May 1, 2016|April 30, 2018}}
| Yes!
|-
| (Vacant)
| {{Sdr|May 1, 2018|May 31, 2018}}
| &ndash;
|-
| Fred
| {{Sdr|June 1, 2018|April 30, 2020}}
| No!
|}

produces:

Name	In office	Party
Bob	May 1, 2016 – April 30, 2018	Yes!
(Vacant)	May 1, 2018 – May 31, 2018	–
