table sorting = class="sortable" in tables. wikibits.js refs = [1], [2] etc. generated with <ref>1</ref> data type = text, date, number etc.
Is this really an issue? Normally [1] comes after any other text, and thus doesn't affect the sorting order
Sounds like it's doing things like interpreting "123[1]" as 'string' instead of 'number'; this would indeed affect the sort order if the rest of your column consists of numbers. This table seems to sort ok though: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Brion_VIBBER/24523

We could duplicate jQuery text function and include a sup.reference check in it
