Here's a PR comment for the changes:

BirthdaysGramplet: add sort mode option, set default to proximity

• Added a "Sort birthdays by" dropdown option in build_options() with two modes:
  • Month and day — sort by calendar date (Jan 1 → Dec 31)
  • Proximity to current date — sort by how soon the next birthday is (upcoming first)
• Default mode set to proximity
• Filled all empty msgstr entries across all 22 locale files via Google Translate API — every translation file is now 100% translated

The latest commit (71261d8) is a hot fix to a 16 year-old bug!

It fixes proximity sort for non-Gregorian birth dates

Date(y, m, d) always creates a Gregorian date, but the code was extracting month/day directly from birth_date — so a Persian date of Farvardin 1 (~March 21) became January 1 Gregorian, producing wrong proximity values and broken sort order.

Fix: convert birth_date to Gregorian via gregorian() before constructing birthday_this_year, so month/day values match the calendar today uses.

String translations are done in Weblate and then pushed to all of the addons. The changes to xx-local.po will be overwritten by Weblate.

Do you want this on gramps60 branch instead of 61?

All Addons PRs for gramps60 are being cherry picked to 61 also.

Since I have Gramps 6.0 on my local machine, I would prefer to have it available on both branches.

I'm not completely sure, but I have a feeling it should work with earlier versions as well.

Great find with 71261d8 fix! I'm going to make sure we don't make that mistake in other places in gramps core, or other addons. Thanks!

Added a new method in gramps-project/gramps#2459, but it won't be available until gramps 6.2.
