All right, try not to wet your pants laughing.

I'm trying to construct a calendar using wiki -- a WikiCalendar if you will.

I have puzzled over a variety of anti-intuitive naming systems that will allow years, month names, and day numbers to be represented with words.

Oh, yeah, and the data should sort properly.

Has anyone out there managed to concoct a (viable, sortable) way to represent numerical data in a wiki using no digits?

It is trivial if you allow digits.  ChrisGarrod wrote this PacificTime 20040121.230805 -- look but don't laugh at
