Village Pump (technical) - Table Sorting By Script

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}) peace - קיפודנחש (aka kipod) (talk) 19:50, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

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)
