Template:Smd/doc

Description
 is used to make the sort mode of a table column “date”, in cases where some cells would otherwise be of type number, currency, or string. It is called at the end of all cells of the table column.

The effect of the template depends on MediaWiki:Common.js containing a version of function  that overrides the default in http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/skins/common/wikibits.js, in particular on the line
