📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Both blog/core/handlePosts.ts and blog/sections/Template.tsx were modified to normalize date string parsing by appending T00:00:00 and constructing dates from template strings instead of direct date construction, affecting date sorting and formatting operations.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Date Sorting Logic blog/core/handlePosts.ts	Modified sortPosts function's date comparison to parse dates via template strings with T00:00:00 appended, changing timestamp calculation for date-based ordering.
Date Formatting Logic blog/sections/Template.tsx	Updated date formatting to construct Date from normalized ISO-like string format before calling toLocaleDateString, ensuring consistent date parsing.

Poem

🐰 A rabbit hops through timezones near and far,
With T00:00:00 beneath each twinkling star,
No more date confusion in the morning light,
Sorted and formatted, everything's right! ✨
