Month pairs are expected to be left to right, earliest to latest in time.  Similarly, seasons are also left to right, earliest to latest in time.  There is

an oddity with seasons.  Winter is assigned a value of 1, spring 2, ..., fall and autumn 4.  Because winter can follow fall/autumn at the end of a calender year, a special test

Check date format to see that it is one of the formats approved by WP:DATESNO or WP:DATERANGE. Exception: only allowed range separator is endash.
 
−
Additionally, check the date to see that it is a real date: no 31 in 30-day months; no 29 February when not a leap year.  Months, both long-form and three
 
−
character abbreviations, and seasons must be spelled correctly. Future years beyond next year are not allowed.

If the date fails the fomat tests, this function returns false and does not return values for anchor_year and COinS_date.  When this happens, the date parameter is
