timeline layout fix liquid sort issues #43

Open evanwill opened 1 year ago

Liquid doesn't sort numeric stuff correctly. Add the sorting to cb_helpers plugin as a ruby function instead, like array_count_uniq, could be specific to the timeline-style layout or just sort of implement the numeric_sort that could be used anywhere. Consider case of BC dates (negative years) and years < 1000 CE.

[ ] sort_numeric plugin
[ ] consider handling of non-number values and nils
[ ] rewrite timeline date parsing to avoid nils and support negative years
[ ] consider combining with array_count_uniq or cb_helpers or keeping all separate
