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)
Answer
Have you tried the "sortkey" option, rather than title?
(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:
Extension:DynamicPageList (DPL), version 3.2.1: Warning: Skipping bad option 'Type' for parameter 'namespace'.
Extension:DynamicPageList (DPL), version 3.2.1: Error: No selection criteria found! You must use at least one of the following parameters: category, namespace, titlematch, linksto, uses, createdby, modifiedby, lastmodifiedby, or their 'not' variants
Extension:DynamicPageList (DPL), version 3.2.1: Warning: No results.
sortkey issues
is it possible to sort articles by the sortkey like the page has [[Category:Africa|20]] and another one [[Zimbabwe|01]] and will display as.
- Zimbabwe
- Africa
And as a side note, i see that many of the DPL examples has "category,sortkey" as an order method but here the info about "category,sortkey" got replace with a headingmode stuff that directs to no where
