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:
“I talk with the authority of failure—Ernest with the authority of success. We could never sit across the same table again.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“Genghis Khan, in his usual jodhpurs accessorized with whip, straddled a canvas chair and gloated upon the fairyland he had built. Journalists, photographers, secretaries, sycophants, script girls, and set dressers milled and stirred around him, activity ... irresistibly reminiscent of the movement of maggots upon rotting meat.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
