Template:Merge This template is for optionally sorting tables by specified sortkeys.
- Usage
{{sort|sort value|displayed value}}
If necessary, one can apply sorting using a sortkey that due to CSS is not displayed: <span style="display:none">...</span>. Javascript sorting is based on the text inside and outside the tags, without the tags themselves. A hidden sortkey can be put at the start.
This template makes that more convenient. The first parameter is the sortkey; the second parameter is the wikitext of what has to be displayed. By default, this is the sortkey with link brackets.
Example[edit source]
|{{sort|Brothers Karamazov|[[The Brothers Karamazov]]}}
It presently works through hidden CSS, as described at wp:Help:Sorting. If a cleaner way of doing this is developed, the template will be changed. A table using this template should use it in all rows.
Note: You should always have the same number of columns for a given table. E.g., if the wikitable will be sorting the numbers 56 (foo), 94 (bar), and 103 (baz), then your templates within that wikitable should be
{{sort|056|foo}}
{{sort|094|bar}}
{{sort|103|baz}}
