What I really hate about Wikipedia, is that they always show the dates in chronological order (starting with old, ending with new), instead of reversed order (starting with the latest). Especially in this case, I don’t want to wade through an entire list of old entries, I’d like to know what is what, so that I can prepare myself appropriately.
While Wikipedia tables often have a sorting button, yeah, there’s no such option for all tables within this article specifically…
However, in this article, all tables are arranged by a section for each century and the Table of contents (although visible only through the desktop version) allows for accessing the 21st century directly, as in the screenshot.
Also, there are Wikipedia front-end apps out there implementing the sorting button even for tables that don’t natively have it. I’m lacking examples to mention, though (the one I have installed on phone, wikireader, doesn’t have such a feature, but I remember using other front-end apps and websites for reading Wikipedia articles beyond the Wikipedia website itself).
