What do the 'create', 'order', 'numeric', and 'ascending'/'descending' parameters mean, how do they function, and how do I use 'colspan' and 'rowspan' on this module? -- PK2 (talk) 07:51, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

Just noting for future page viewers that this has been responded to at Help talk:Table#parameters and auto-sorting tables; it may have been archived by the time you read this.

Edit request: Accessible code

First of all, I hope I've used an appropriate temple for this edit request. There seems to be no Template:Edit module-protected, and there's no Template: AutosortTable in front of this module.

My request is this: please add the necessary code to increase the compatibility of the output with WP:ACCESS, esp. MOS:DTAB.

Specifically, I'm hoping for two changes:

1. Add the capability of specifying a table caption. (Wikitables do this with |+ Some caption in the wikicode.)
2. When generating a new row, emit the first cell as a row header with scope. Wikitables do this with !scope="row"| . The current module code produces simple data cells with <td>, which doesn't help screen reader tools.

Thanks, — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 19:16, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

 Not done: According to the page's protection level you should be able to edit the page yourself. If you seem to be unable to, please reopen the request with further details. — JJMC89 (T·C) 19:58, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

Oh, yeah; so I am. Sorry for being a dope. — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 15:20, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

Suggestion and bug

I was thinking this module will be very useful for making a WikiProject issues backlog list where the variable numbers of issues change and thus automatic sorting would be beneficial. However, one capability missing from AutosortTable to make that perfect is having a row become invisible if a threshold is met (e.g. < 50 issues). Being able to set a column-value-based condition for enabling a row to display would be awesome.

A bug I ran into is if a cell value contains an external link with a '?' in its URL, the whole row won't display. I was linking to a PetScan result. To work around this, I'm using the [[petscan:n|description]] approach instead.

Thank you for a really cool module and for considering my suggestion and a bug fix. Stefen 𝕋ower_{'s got the power!!1!} ^{Gab • Gruntwerk} 19:22, 14 August 2025 (UTC)

Note: per the suggestion, I know I can put "display: {{#ifexpr: column-value >= 50 | table-row | none}}" at the beginning of each row, but it seems like an unnecessary bulking of the table code, when theoretically a simplified conditional based on whatever the column-value is could be set in one spot.
