[edit] What it solves
To use Help:Sorting and have it function correctly, dates must be entered in YYYY-MM-DD format. But this does not conform to the Manual of Style for date display and wikilinking.
This template automatically creates the hidden <span style="display:none">1776-07-04</span> for sorting purposes and then displays and wikilinks the date properly like this July 4, 1776, depending on the user's Special:Preferences.
