Template:Sort cell

data-sort-value="{{{1}}} !" | [[{{{1}}}]]

File:Test Template Info-Icon - Version (2).svg Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template is for manually adjusting sorting order in sortable tables by specified sortkeys.

Usage

• {{sort cell | 1 = {{{sort value}}} | 2 = {{{displayed value}}} }} → data-sort-value="{{{sort value}}} !" | {{{displayed value}}}

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:

• {{sort cell | 1 = {{{displayed value}}} }} → data-sort-value="{{{displayed value}}} !" | [[{{{displayed value}}}]]

A table using this template should use it in all rows.

Example

|{{sort cell|Brothers Karamazov|[[The Brothers Karamazov]]}}

Sorting by numerical value, date, etc.

See Help:Sortable tables#Numerical sorting problems and meta:Help:Sorting#Sort modes

Equal rank

If you simply code as the second parameter an indicator that two items are equally ranked, e.g. "4=", the template interpreter will treat this as an additional parameter (i.e. parameter 4, which it will then not use). You must explicitly code this as parameter 2:

{{sort cell|4|2=4=}}
