Template:Sortname: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 21:02, 15 January 2024

<span data-sort-value="{{{last}}}, {{{first}}}">[[{{{first}}} {{{last}}} ({{{dab}}})|{{{first}}} {{{last}}}]]</span>

{{sortname}} is a shortcut that equates the following markup:

<span data-sort-value="variable2, variable1">[[variable1 variable2]]</span>

It's useful for sortable tables and based on a Wikipedia template.

{{sortname}} is useful for sortable tables, so that authors can be sorted alphabetically by last name rather than first. Hence,

{{sortname|Steven|Moffat}} results in Steven Moffat.

If the author's page title includes a dab term, as in Dave Stone (writer), you can add it manually using dab. For instance,

{{sortname|Andrew|Smith|dab=writer}} renders Andrew Smith.

Alternately, you can override the link entirely:

{{sortname|Terence Joseph|Nation|Terry Nation}} yields Terence Joseph Nation.

Or you can their name to be sorted properly but without linking to their article:

{{sortname|Steven|Moffat|nolink=1}} results in Steven Moffat.
