Make a Table Sortable

Tables can be made sortable by typing class="sortable" in the first line of the table.

{| border= "1" class="sortable"
! Name  
! Age  
! Height
|-
| Joe
| 14
| 5'3"
|-
| Sally 
| 39
| 6'1"
|-
| Bill
| 89
| 5'0"
|}  

Which shows up like this on your web page:

Name	Age	Height
Joe	14	5'3"
Sally	39	6'1"
Bill	89	5'0"

Sortable tables are identified by the arrows in each of its header cells. Clicking them will cause the table rows to sort based on the selected column, in ascending order first, and subsequently toggling between ascending and descending order. Links and other wiki-markup are not possible in headers.

Exclude Line from Sorting

You can exclude the last row of a table from the sorting process by typing class="sortbottom" on the desired table row (line starting with |-).

{| border= "1" class="sortable"
! Name  
! Age  
! Height
|-
| Joe
| 14
| 5'3"
|-
| Sally 
| 39
| 6'1"
|-
| Bill
| 89
| 5'0"
|- class = "sortbottom"
| '''Average''' 
| 47.3
| 5'5"
|}  

Which shows up like this on your web page:

Name	Age	Height
Joe	14	5'3"
Sally	39	6'1"
Bill	89	5'0"
Average	47.3	5'5"
