If you use a name for the first time, you should make sure that it is spelled correctly. Otherwise, you will see a SQL error message. * A ~~very~~ special (proprietary) function can be used to sort card suit symbols according to the rank of suits that is used in the card game of bridge (this cannot be done by standard collating sequences). To trigger this function, set <code>ordercollation=bridge</code>. ==Other ways to sort== ===tablesortcol=== {{#lsth:~~Controlling output format~~Examples\|tablesortcol}}<!-- transclude from other page --> ===Using ~~javascript~~JavaScript=== In some cases, DPL3 sorting features are sufficient; think of the following example: Line 173: But there is another way: * Create a ''sortable wiki table'' (using the {{DPL\|table}} option of DPL3 with <code>class="wikitable sortable"</code>) and you can click on the column headings to sort your output accordingly. However, the initial order shown in that table will still be the order in which DPL3 parsed the wiki pages (usually an ~~alphabetic~~alphabetical order of the page names). Using a handful of JavaScript lines, you can sort a wikitable ''on pageLoad'' by any column. You must insert that JavaScript code AT THE END of your page:
