Table Sorting By Script
When looking at someone's SUL accounts at Special:CentralAuth, it would be useful to have the table automatically sorted by edit count when the page opens. Does anyone know if there's a way to sort a table by a specified column in Javascript? Jafeluv (talk) 13:04, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
- Yes. You're looking for Quentinv57's tool. Legoktm (talk) 13:34, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
- Hmm... That's not sorted by edit count by default either, is it? Jafeluv (talk) 13:47, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
- Not by default, but if you hit the arrow it will sort. Legoktm (talk) 16:27, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
- You can do that in CentralAuth as well, of course. But the question was whether it can be done by script. Jafeluv (talk) 11:23, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
- try adding the following line to Special:Mypage/common.js
if (wgCanonicalSpecialPageName == "CentralAuth") $(function {$('th:Contains(Edit count)').click.click})

- Thanks! Can't seem to get it to work, though... Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Jafeluv (talk) 07:54, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Famous quotes containing the words table and/or script:
“the moderate Aristotelian city
Of darning and the Eight-Fifteen, where Euclid’s geometry
And Newton’s mechanics would account for our experience,
And the kitchen table exists because I scrub it.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
“I long to create something
that can’t be used to keep us passive:
I want to write
a script about plumbing, how every pipe
is joined
to every other.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
