How to make date ranges sort to correct position in both ascending and descending displays?

Is there any way to make a MOS:DATERANGE sort to the correct chronological position in both ascending and descending displays? For example in Jack Deam#Filmography the date ranges sort by the first date in the range, which is correct if sorting oldest first but gives incorrect chronological order when using date sorting to display most recent at the top where it is the end of the range date that determines correct chronological order. 213.18.145.207 (talk) 13:44, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

I believe not although you might check at WP:VPT. As I far as I know, each column has a single sort key which is used for both ascending and descending ordering. For example, 2016–2022 cannot be sorted by 2016 in one direction and 2022 in the other. I don't think it matters much for the example given. If it were a big deal, two columns would be needed, one for the first date and another for the last. Johnuniq (talk) 02:53, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

Invalid date error for 2524 BC

The Decolonisation of Asia article has a table with a cell containing the date 2524 BC. This template throws an error if used with this date. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 00:16, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

I believe the following works:

• {{dts|2524|||BC}} → 2524 BC

The missing parameters 2 and 3 are for the month and day. The era (BC etc.) is parameter 4. Johnuniq (talk) 00:38, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

@Wtmitchell: I should probably have notified you. Johnuniq (talk) 03:37, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

Thanks. I applied fixed here. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 04:39, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
