Template:Sort date range
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 –
