Description thaoeuns 2010-08-03 07:19:53 UTC
Markup should be added to support attaching units to values; so that the values can be displayed easily (not everyone can type °), so that they can (potentially) be converted to other meaningful units as in bug 235, and so that sorting can be done better than alphabetically. Sort http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems#Limits by the last column and the order is nonsensical. This problem is noted there on the discussion page, but not addressed.

Somewhat tracked by bug 30674 but not really. Realistically we would require users to add sortkeys to each column themselves to make this happen. This has been hacked around by template:Ntss
