Forum:Sorting tables

How on earth do you sort a field of a table to something other than its actual value?-- 17:19, May 20, 2010 (UTC)

 * Depending on what your doing(show us what wiki it's on), you could add another column to the table with a value or type of thing you want to sort by. Alternatively, if the "actual value" is not important, you could prepend an invisible(same foreground and background color) value to the field possibly with a very small font so that it's not noticeable. --Sxerks 18:24, May 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * Create a template based on the template on Wikipedia (Wikipedia:Template:Sort), which does exactly what you're asking for. —Lowellian (reply) 01:19, May 22, 2010 (UTC)
