Days of the year
I think it will stretch the category too far (and make it distinctly harder to use) if we includes days here. See: What sort of order is that? Yes - alphanumeric; no good for numbers unless all are the same length, and even then we don't normally find anything arranged by days of the month (1 Jan, 1 Feb, 1 Mar, ..., 2 Jan, 2 Feb...).
 * 23rd December
 * 2nd January
 * 31st December

I suggest that those pages should be categorised not here but under their months (with piped links to arrange at least the first 9 days in order, e.g. 9th May is ) and that the month categories be in Category:Months with piped links to arrange them in order, e.g. May is. If people feel that readers will want a quick jump from 31 Jan to 1 Feb or 7 Feb etc when they are on the January page, just put template:months at the bottom of each month category as for the individual day pages.
