 | This template uses Lua: |
This template is for manually adjusting sorting order in sortable tables by specified sortkeys.
- Usage
{{Sort | 1 = {{{sort value}}} | 2 = {{{displayed 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 | 1 = {{{displayed value}}} }}→ [[{{{displayed value}}}]]
A table using this template should use it in all rows.
This template works by adding a hidden sort value, which replaces the value of the visible text for sorting purposes. The HTML output looks like: <span data-sort-value="sortvalue">[[displayed value]]</span>.
