Talk:Master Integrated Timeline

This is the first step in the master timeline. I used this:

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Helferlein/VBA-Macro_for_EXCEL_tableconversion#VBA-Source

to create a base table, using phi's data.

Then I tweaked it to make it sortable.

The results look promising. But the data needs to be scrubbed in Excel before I export it. Scrubbing in wiki is terrible.

Also, this page has yet another version of mediawiki with a wysiwyg editor for tables:

It looks like it's sorting lexically on the "days out" field, not numerically. So it goes -1, -10, -100, -101, -102, ..., -11, -110, ... which is not really useful. Maybe forcing to a fixed numeric width will help some, but the sort will still be backwards for precon milestones. --phi 08:52, 22 February 2007 (PST)
