I am working on the User:Helpfoss/Comparison_of_BitTorrent_clients. I am looking for a way to make the columns First public release date and Latest stable

sortable for the date instead of the version number; the latter being completely unimportant for this overview

Issue no2 is I think already solved, issue no1 remains. Helpfoss (talk) 15:48, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

since I worked many times on this template and other comparison: don't! Version numbering is not telling anything of usablibity of the application (you should know) and date would be an interesting part, but this has be be a reporgraammint of the "template:Latest stable software release" which is not existing, so Template:infobox software need a reprogramming, whcih would solve your problem. in a few days (I do not promise anything) I will have a look at! I will leave the helpme-template open for further suggestions! mabdul 00:29, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
