Description Sam Reed (reedy) 2007-05-23 18:27:44 UTC It would be useful to have additional parameter on api.php?action=query&prop=links so that the list of links on a page is not sorted alphabetically, like it currently is. ie &alpha=false or something similar Thanks Sam Reed Comment 1 Brion Vibber 2007-05-23 19:00:07 UTC That's how they're stored in the database due to indexing. Comment 2 Mets501 2007-05-23 19:02:12 UTC OK, no problem; thanks for letting us know. Comment 3 Sam Reed (reedy) 2007-05-23 19:03:09 UTC Thanks anyway :)
