Problem

Using code similar to this:

{{#dpl: | tablesortcol = 1 | category = Sample | table = class="datatable-action",-,#,Name | include = {Template}:Number:Name | columns = 3 }}

It appears that the data is returned, split into three columns THEN sorted by column 1. I would expect the data to be sorted first, then split into three columns. Otherwise, the data is unreliable.

Indeed, Tablesort_and_columns shows the effect: Splitting happens first. I am afraid this will be very hard to change so I suggest that you do not use those two options in combination.

Well darn. Any other odd creative suggestions? Any way to do first half/last half tables?

There are lots of ways for delivering table content page wise, see Scrolling and the exmaples provided there. Gero 07:51, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
