Re: Hurricanes
editHi there, Thanks for your edits to try and improve the way the dates were sorting on the List of deadliest Atlantic hurricanes. However, changing the format of the dates to 1870, October 5–14 or whatever doesnt help the sorting and goes against Wikipedia policies on the dates. Anyway the problem with the sorting was the middle code didnt always have the century on it, so for example it was sorting as {{Sort|701005|October 5–14, 1870}} which is why you saw Jeanne 04 before San Marcos 1870. However, it was quite an easy fix to make once I had RV'd your edit as the way it should sort is {{Sort|18701005|October 5–14, 1870}}. Thanks for your edits and I hope you can stick around to try and help us improve various articles. Jason Rees (talk) 20:14, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
