Because of the way MediaWiki arranges numbered lists (e.g. in a list of 1, 2, 11 the order would be 1, 11, 2) a minor exploit is needed to force the list to arrange correctly.
When creating a new date entry, add a category along the lines of the following:
[[Category:Days|MonthX]]
Month is that month's shorthand name (e.g. Dec for December, Sep for September, etc.) and X is a value from the following chart.
1st = 1 2nd = 2 3rd = 3 4th = 4 5th = 5 6th = 6 7th = 7 8th = 8 9th = 9 10th = 9A 11th = A 12th = B 13th = C 14th = D 15th = E 16th = F 17th = G 18th = H 19th = I 20th = J 21st = K 22nd = L 23rd = M 24th = N 25th = O 26th = P 27th = Q 28th = R 29th = S 30th = T 31st = U
All days have been created and I believe they are correctly categorized, unless someone changes the cat tag on one of these days, then there isn't a need to worry about how to sort them anymore. -- Mason11987 (Talk - Contributions) 12:20, 14 October 2006 (CDT)
