Description Jason Spiro 2006-02-05 05:27:08 UTC 
I propose that the page-editing code in MediaWiki look for the tokens <!--
#SORTEDLIST --> and <!-- #ENDLIST --> each time a user clicks "Save page". If
they are found, then MediaWiki will sort the text between the two tokens,
line-by-line, using the appropriate sort order for the language the wiki is
written in.

This would be an extremely useful labor-saving device. It would save time in
editing disambiguation pages, lists, and more.
Comment 1 Jason Spiro 2006-02-05 05:27:50 UTC 
I am requesting case-insensitive sort, of course.
Comment 2 Rob Church 2006-02-05 14:19:16 UTC 
This might be better served as an extension, using <sortedlist> and
</sortedlist>. Use of comment markup would be inconsistent.
Comment 3 Rob Church 2006-05-17 20:18:29 UTC 
There's a <sort> extension in SVN trunk.
Comment 4 Jason Spiro 2006-05-18 09:07:05 UTC 
Great! I hope it'll make it into your unofficial MediaWiki changelog page and
from there into the Signpost and into the instruction and help pages for making
list pages.

Rob, thanks!

It's not live on Wikimedia web sites.
