(2) I see your problem. The current version was not able to group by categories and ignore namespace at the same time. That is why you always get the "S" as a chapter letter. I added a new option in the latest revision (1.1.9).

You need to install the latest release 1.1.9 and use 'ordermethod=titlewithoutnamespaces' like this:

Sorting issue

Question

Hopefully some admin is checking RecentChanges and will notice this; I'm from the Dungeons and Dragons wiki and we can't seem to get our lists to sort all the articles in the SRD namespace to anything but S, even if the category tags on the pages in question are in the format of. This particular page of manual says ordermethod=title will sort by prefix+title; how can we make it sort by the title without the prefix instead? Please get back to me here. --Mobius, 05:18, 25 May 2007 (CEST)
