On the Release Week Template, why are the dates and numbers in one order for 2012 and reversed in 2013?

Unfortunately they do. The automation I use to pull those kinds of things together can't be used on pages where a LOT of click-traffic happens. Basically, putting DPL on the front page would crash the site. I might be able to develop some kind of code that puts what you need to copy together so that it can be cut and pasted on a weekly basis, rather than made from scratch, but that's about the best I could do on that one.

Well, dates are listed twice because there are two uses for the template. It both converts the date on a comic page to a category for that page, (Week 1, etc), and also converts a given week to a date (say on the actual Category:Week 1 page). It also has to be manually populated, but I've been thinking of a way to put ALL dates in there, so that Week 1 of 2012 is always available, even when we're at or past Week 1 of 2013. Don't know how useful that would be for anyone in the future, but I like the idea of seeing what was released from marvel on a given week in a given year, even years later.
