DPL Example 023

back to list of examples

Create a SORTED table of articles based on template parameters

This is basically the same as DPL Example 001.

DPL goes through all pages and initially builds an alphabetically sorted list of matching articles. We output the columns in different order (just for convenience) and then we use a small piece of javascript code to resort the table by column one. As we must insert the link to the article at column position two, we need an phantom template Template:Country.listByCapital to format the output of each line.

{{#dpl:
 |category=Fictitious country
 |include={Country}.listByCapital
 |table=class=sortable wikitable,-,Capital,Country,Official Name
}}
{{TableSortByColumn1}}

The above DPL command produces the following output:

---

Capital	Country	Official Name
	DPL Example 007 main page 1
Bamitogoo	Nigunda	Republic of Nigunda
Bamitogoo Test	Nigunda Test	Republic of Nigunda Test
Aaaabququque	Somango	Somango Island
