Template documentation

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

Usage

• {{sort|sort value|displayed 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|sort value}} → sort value !sort value

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

This template works by placing a hidden sortkey before the visible text. The hiding of the sortkey is achieved through CSS: <span style="display:none">hidden text</span>.

Example

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

Note: You should always have the same number of characters in the sortkeys 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}}

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|4|2=4=}}
