Property talk:Date of birth sortkey

[edit] This sort key may only be temporary

• Date of birth should sort correctly if the query sorts on the internal numeric value of the datetime instead of the string value. It's a known issue that when doing the interactive JavaScript sort on table columns it does a string sort (see Semantic MediaWiki development activities#Interface improvements.

• Type:Date allows incomplete dates such as just the year, or the year and the month. PHP tries to be clever at inferring the rest of the date and time, which is not what we want, but that's a bug.

So that type is not very suitable for an incomplete date.--Patrick 16:27, 5 December 2006 (CET)

• The limited date range is on the list of enhancements!

You've replaced all the Date of birth property values with this new attribute, so the tests in Type:Date#Date_Comparisons don't work.

I restored an annotation, sufficient for that demo.--Patrick 16:27, 5 December 2006 (CET)
