 | This template should be avoided. Table sort keys are best defined using the data-sort-value attribute, like so: | data-sort-value="Doe, John" | John Doe. Please see WP:SORT § Specifying a sort key for a cell for details. |
 | This template is used on approximately 112,000 pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
 | 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>.
Example
|{{Sort|Brothers Karamazov|[[The Brothers Karamazov]]}}
- Sorting by numerical value, date, etc.
- See Help:Sorting#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|4|2=4=}}
