Template:Sort/doc

This template is for optionally sorting tables contents when that is a possible desired feature.

If a number code can have a space at this position, two nbsps can be used. Moreover, display of the first part, acting as sortkey, can be avoided using CSS (this does not affect its functioning for sorting): ..."


 * To use it, place this in your table cell:

It presently works through hidden CSS, as described at Help:Sorting. If a cleaner way of doing this is developed, the template will be changed. A table using this template should use it in all rows
