Help:Sorting
<languages/> <translate> In many situations, lists of page titles or user names are sorted alphabetically by MediaWiki.</translate> <translate> It is also possible to use JavaScript to sort lists of data that are included in page text.</translate>
<translate>
Sort order
</translate>
<translate> When lists are sorted alphabetically by MediaWiki, the order of characters is sorted with <tvar|1>Intl.Collator</>.</translate>
<translate> This sorts accented characters correctly based on <tvar|1>PageContentLanguage</>.</translate>
<translate> Android Webviews don't support this, so fallback to the old sort routine is required.</translate> <translate> The order is the same as the order of Unicode code points.</translate> <translate> Some of the more common characters are ordered as follows (in ascending order):</translate>
!"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABC
DEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefg
hijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~ ¡¢£¤¥¦§¨©ª«¬

Categories
</translate>
<translate> Categories are sorted differently from other lists.</translate> <translate> The exact order depends on the configuration of the wiki, via <tvar|1>$wgCategoryCollation</>.</translate> <translate> The default since MediaWiki 1.17 is the Unicode code point order as above, but with all the lowercase letters turned into uppercase letters.</translate> <translate> More complex orderings are possible.</translate>
<translate>
Sorting rows of a table
</translate>
<translate> When a list of entries is included in a [[<tvar|1>Special:MyLanguage/Help:Tables</>|table]] on a page, you can use JavaScript to make the table sortable (it is not possible to force a table to be sorted by a default order on page load).</translate>
<translate> To do this, add the "<tvar|1>sortable</>" class to the table declaration and make sure you defined headers using exclamations marks:</translate>
{| class="wikitable sortable"
|-
! <translate nowrap><!--T:17--> Fruit</translate> !! <translate nowrap><!--T:18--> Price</translate>
|-
| <translate nowrap><!--T:19--> Apples</translate> || £0.95
|-
| <translate nowrap><!--T:20--> Oranges</translate> || £0.85
|-
| <translate nowrap><!--T:21--> Pears</translate> || £1.15
|-
| <translate nowrap><!--T:22--> Purple mangosteen</translate> || £1.05
|}
<translate> Which produces the following output:</translate>
| <translate> Fruit</translate> | <translate> Price</translate> |
|---|---|
| <translate> Apples</translate> | £0.95 |
| <translate> Oranges</translate> | £0.85 |
| <translate> Pears</translate> | £1.15 |
| <translate> Purple mangosteen</translate> | £1.05 |
<translate> By clicking on the buttons in the cell headers, the entries can be sorted by the value in that column, in either ascending or descending order.
Specifying a sort key
Depending on the wiki, <tvar|1>data-sort-value</> can be used to specify a sort key.
Example: </translate>
{| class="wikitable sortable"
! <translate nowrap><!--T:34--> Name and Surname</translate>
! <translate nowrap><!--T:35--> Height</translate>
|-
|data-sort-value="Smith, John George-Jackson"| John George-Jackson Smith
| 1.85
|-
|data-sort-value="Ray, Ian"| Ian Ray
| 1.89
|-
|data-sort-value="Bianchi, Zachary"| Zachary Bianchi
| 1.72
|-
|data-sort-value="Bianchi Maria, Adele"| Adele Bianchi Maria
| 1.82
|- class="sortbottom"
! <translate nowrap><!--T:36--> Average:</translate>
| 1.82
|}
<translate> gives:</translate>
| <translate> Name and Surname</translate> | <translate> Height</translate> |
|---|---|
| John George-Jackson Smith | 1.85 |
| Ian Ray | 1.89 |
| Zachary Bianchi | 1.72 |
| Adele Bianchi Maria | 1.82 |
| <translate> Average:</translate> | 1.82 |
<translate>
Sorting in categories
</translate>
<translate> Pages in categories are sorted by their title.</translate> <translate> This can be overridden by a sort key, see [[<tvar|1>Special:MyLanguage/Help:Categories#Sort key</>|Help:Categories#Sort key]].</translate>
