Forum:Userbox documentation question

Over on GTAWiki, I've made this - w:c:gta:Template:Userbox:Bureaucrat. I'm trying to make it so that it sorts Bureaucrats under Category:Bureaucrats by their username. But I don't know how to do that apparently. No matter what I try it always sorts them starting with User. Please help. McJeff (talk this way)/(stalk this way) 04:27, July 10, 2011 (UTC)


 * I believe you can use  or , although, I like BASEPAGENAME better, since PAGENAME grabs the subpage name also. As I recall, the category may also have to cache. • Bermuda  • Contact Me!  • 07:06, July 10, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm not seeing evidence in your code of any sorting — but then I've not checked the page history — so I'm not sure what you've tried. But I'd try to implement this with dpl.  So something like:

 category=Bureaucrats shownamespace=false order=ascending
 * That's the easiest way to sort data from categories. Memory Alpha has a great little tutorial on how to use dpl at memoryalpha:help:dynamic page list.  On the other hand, you don't actually need to get rid of the namespace, because they all have the same namespace (User:), so that has no impact on proper sorting. User:Apple will sort before User:Betty, anyway.   07:10:24 Sun 10 Jul 2011


 * McJeff, you had the categorizing as  . I changed it to  . It seems to be working. Remember, though, that changes made involving categories can take some time to appear, something to do with server priority. — Spike  Toronto  07:35, July 10, 2011 (UTC)
