Template talk:Sort

What is this template for? --Bfdifan2006 16:20, 26 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Apparently, it lets you create a parameter for sorting something in a sortable table, in case the text you want in a cell wouldn't be automatically sorted in the proper way. You can see it being used in this pages. Suic (talk) 16:47, 26 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
Yes, but most users would prefer using the data-sort-value field for table cells, like this:

Hope you understood. --Bfdifan2006 17:52, 26 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
Hey, I'm not here saying whether this is useful or not, I'm not even skilled enough in wikicode to know it for sure. I just saw you had a question that seemed reasonable, so I looked into it to see if I could answer it. Suic (talk) 18:52, 26 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
It appears as if it is a product of time from what I can see, if you can update the required pages to use the data-sort-value code, go ahead. --Spriteit (talk) 07:30, 27 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
Done: Special:Diff/3172611 and Special:Diff/3172613. That means the template can be officially archived. --Bfdifan2006 07:50, 27 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
No you aren't, if you compare the sorting between the revisions, you've broken how it sorts in places... --Spriteit (talk) 01:23, 29 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
