Sorting order of place names/aliases chronologically if they've undergone name changes

      Presently, because certain start or end dates are as yet unavailable and so aren't filled in, past and present place names are displayed in this order:

      Carter DeHaven Music Box 1926-10-18–1945-02
      Guild Theatre 1945-02–???
      The Fonda Theatre 1985–???
      The Fonda Theatre 2012–present
      Pix Theatre ???–1977
      Music Box Theatre ???–2012
      Fox Theatre ??

      but if it could be sorted chronologically (which would seem logical to me), it would look something like this:

      Carter DeHaven Music Box 1926-10-18–1945-02
      Guild Theatre 1945-02–???
      Fox Theatre ??
      Pix Theatre ???–1977
      The Fonda Theatre 1985–???
      Music Box Theatre ???–2012
      The Fonda Theatre 2012–present (current place name)

      Perhaps there could be an option to sort them manually in the right order in the absence of start or end dates.
