<span data-sort-value="{{{last}}}, {{{first}}}">[[{{{first}}} {{{last}}} ({{{dab}}})|{{{first}}} {{{last}}}]]</span>
Instructions for {{Sortname}}
{{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.
Usage[[edit source]]
{{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.
