Re: Sort a table when opening a page

The "sortable" tables are only ordered when the user clicks on a column 
header, and only on the content in every cell, either numerical, or 
alphabetical, so Lundi (Monday) would be sorted after Dimanche (Sunday).

It should be possible to order a pagelist by date or by day of week, if 
some property or variable for every page is a date.

Say you have this date as a page text variable in every page:

    Date: 2024-01-05
or

   (:Date:2024-01-05:)

Then you can order your pagelist by the $:Date variable:

   (:pagelist [other options] order=$:Date:)

In a pagelist template, knowing the date, you can print the day of week 
in French with this markup expression:

   {(ftime fmt=%A when={=$:Date} locale=fr_FR.utf8 tz=Europe/Paris)}

The "locale" and "tz" arguments may not be needed if your wiki is 
correctly configured.

BTW you can show this international date 2024-01-05 in the European 
format like this:

   {(ftime fmt=%d/%m/%Y when={=$:Date} )} (shows 05/01/2024)
