Hidden sort problem

I just added hidden sort keys for the non-numeric dates using Template:Hidden sort key. I don't have a lot of experience with templates or tables and something doesn't seem to be working. Everything appears to sort correctly except for the "Extinguished" field for three societies: Accademia degli Oziosi, Accademia degli Schiumati and Accademia Minervale. When "Extinguished" is sorted large to small, those societies come up at the top, though their hidden sort keys should put them toward the middle. I will keep experimenting with this and will try to find out why. If I can't figure it out after a couple of days, I'll ask for expert help. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. Thank you.

Fixed by User:Huon who helped me out on help chatroom using "data-sort-value" to fix an unexplained problem with the Template:Hidden sort key. Thank you. SchreiberBike talk 22:20, 4 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
