Module:Sorted plain list/doc

This module is rated as ready for general use. It has reached a mature state, is considered relatively stable and bug-free, and may be used wherever appropriate. It can be mentioned on help pages and other Wikipedia resources as an option for new users. To minimise server load and avoid disruptive output, improvements should be developed through sandbox testing rather than repeated trial-and-error editing.

This module depends on the following other modules: Module:List (sandbox)

This module may be used to generate a sorted "plain list", which is a sorted unordered HTML list without visible bullets.

• There are six possible sort modes
  1. asc is ascending as defined by the default LUA string comparison operator.
  2. desc is descending as defined by the default LUA string comparison operator.
  3. asc with |type=number is ascending using numeric comparison instead of string comparison.
  4. desc with |type=number is descending using numeric comparison instead of string comparison.
  5. ascd is ascending dictionary order, so spaces are sorted before other characters.
  6. descd is descending dictionary order, so spaces are sorted before other characters.
• By default, the list is assumed to be delimited by commas, this can be changed to semicolons or any other choice.
• The list may be implicitly loaded from a wikidata property using the |propertyID= parameter, which will override any explicitly specified values.

To convert a comma separated list to a sorted plainlist, use

• {{#invoke:sorted plain list|asc|<comma separated entries>}}
• {{#invoke:sorted plain list|desc|<comma separated entries>}}
• {{#invoke:sorted plain list|ascd|<comma separated entries>}}
• {{#invoke:sorted plain list|descd|<comma separated entries>}}

To convert a semicolon separated list to a sorted plainlist, use

• {{#invoke:sorted plain list|asc|<semicolon separated entries>|;}}
• {{#invoke:sorted plain list|desc|<semicolon separated entries>|;}}
• {{#invoke:sorted plain list|ascd|<semicolon separated entries>|;}}
• {{#invoke:sorted plain list|descd|<semicolon separated entries>|;}}

To convert a semicolon separated list of numbers to a sorted plainlist, use

• {{#invoke:sorted plain list|asc|<semicolon separated entries>|;|type=number}}
• {{#invoke:sorted plain list|desc|<semicolon separated entries>|;|type=number}}

To convert a wikidata property list to a sorted plainlist, use

• {{#invoke:sorted plain list|asc|propertyID=<PNUMBER>}}
• {{#invoke:sorted plain list|desc|propertyID=<PNUMBER>}}
• {{#invoke:sorted plain list|ascd|propertyID=<PNUMBER>}}
• {{#invoke:sorted plain list|descd|propertyID=<PNUMBER>}}
