Sorting names in Wikipedia tables

Let's say that I am creating a sortable Wikipedia table that incorporates the names of several people. Let's further say that, as an example, one of the names in the list to be sorted is Abraham Lincoln. If I want his entry to be sorted as an "L" for his last name — as opposed to an "A" for his first name — what would I need to do? If I enter a Wikipedia link that says "[[Abraham Lincoln|Lincoln, Abraham]]" ... will that work? Will that sort him as an "L" or as an "A"? In other words ... does the Wikipedia computer (or the server or the HTML or whatever) use the name before the vertical bar or the name after the vertical bar (in the Wikipedia link), to determine the proper sorting? Also, is there some other (easier) Wikipedia code that effectuates this type of sorting by last name instead of by first name? Thank you. (64.252.68.102 (talk) 17:52, 21 February 2010 (UTC))

The template {{sortname}} is what you would use for this. For example:

{{sortname|Abraham|Lincoln|Abraham Lincoln|Lincoln, Abraham}}

displays as:

Abraham Lincoln

and sorts as if it were:

Lincoln, Abraham

The first parameter is the first name, or names; the second is the surname; the third is the title of an article dealing with that person; the fourth is the sort key. To give a different example which (hopefully) will give better context for the last two parameters:

{{sortname|George|Clinton|George Clinton (vice president)|Clinton, George}}

displays as:

George Clinton

and sorts as if it were:

Clinton, George

More info on the template page. --Redrose64 (talk) 18:14, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

I didn't mention that the third parameter is optional, and if omitted, it will generate a wikilnk from the first two parameters. Similarly, the last parameter is optional, and if omitted will also be generated from the first two. It's only required if the person's name includes letters with accents or other marks. For example:

{{sortname|Nadia|Comăneci||Comaneci, Nadia}}

Here, the third parameter is blank, but the fourth shows the nearest English-language letters, so displays as:

Nadia Comăneci

--Redrose64 (talk) 18:28, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Hello. Thanks for your help above. I have a further question ... if I may. What are the advantages / disadvantages between these two sorting methods? (Method #1) I decide to use the {{sortname}} function that you just informed me of ... versus ... (Method #2) I just use a link that says [[Abraham Lincoln|Lincoln, Abraham]]? Does either method have any advantages or disadvantages or other factors to consider? The only thing that comes to mind right now is that -- by using Method #1 -- the name "Abraham Lincoln" will appear in the "L" section of the sorted list even though the first letter in the display is the "A" of "Abraham". In Method #2, the person's name will appear to be "backwards" (opposite of Wikipedia article naming conventions) ... as in "Lincoln, Abraham" ... but the first letter displayed will be "L" and it will appear in the "L" section of the sorted list. Am I correct? Are there any other advantages, disadvantages, or considerations for me to -- um, consider -- before I start doing a relatively long and laborious list? Thanks. (64.252.68.102 (talk) 20:14, 21 February 2010 (UTC))

The difference between the two approaches is that somebody has written and tested the template to get it right, whereas your approach relies on your getting it right. Redrose didn't say that it would appear as "Lincoln, Abraham" anywhere, just that it would sort using this (and appear under L). --ColinFine (talk) 21:48, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

ColinFine ... huh? I don't understand your answer at all. Can you please re-phrase it? Thanks. (64.252.68.102 (talk) 23:07, 21 February 2010 (UTC))

Further to the above, I have worked up some examples in one of my sandboxes which you are welcome to view and to try out. --Redrose64 (talk) 23:07, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks to everyone for the above help and input. It was indeed helpful, and I appreciate the feedback. Thank you. (64.252.68.102 (talk) 14:55, 22 February 2010 (UTC))

Sandbox from Redrose 64

Here are some examples to try; for each I shall show the raw wikicode and then a working example which uses exactly the same wikicode.

Method 1

Using {{sortname}}.

• Advantages: names displayed in natural order; sort is A (for Å), C(B), C(G), E, L, T (for Þ), W (ie non-English and accented letters are handled)
• Disadvantage: wikicode can be more difficult to follow unless only the first two parameters are used

{|class="wikitable sortable"
!Person
|-
|{{sortname|George|Clinton|George Clinton (vice president)}}
|-
|{{sortname|Abraham|Lincoln}}
|-
|{{sortname|Woodrow|Wilson}}
|-
|{{sortname|Dwight D.|Eisenhower}}
|-
|{{sortname|Bill|Clinton}}
|-
|{{sortname|Anders Jonas|Ångström||Angstrom, Anders Jonas}}
|-
|{{sortname|Þorsteinn M.|Jónsson||Thorsteinn M. Jonsson}}
|}

Person
George Clinton
Abraham Lincoln
Woodrow Wilson
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Bill Clinton
Anders Jonas Ångström
Þorsteinn M. Jónsson

Method 2

Using piped wikilinks.

• Advantage: easily understood by most wiki editors
• neutral: sort is CB, CG, E, L, W but then Å, Þ
• Disadvantage: names coded twice each; names displayed surname first; non-English and accented letters give undesirable results

{|class="wikitable sortable"
!Person
|-
|[[George Clinton (vice president)|Clinton, George]]
|-
|[[Abraham Lincoln|Lincoln, Abraham]]
|-
|[[Woodrow Wilson|Wilson, Woodrow]]
|-
|[[Dwight D. Eisenhower|Eisenhower, Dwight D.]]
|-
|[[Bill Clinton|Clinton, Bill]]
|-
|[[Anders Jonas Ångström|Ångström, Anders Jonas]]
|-
|[[Þorsteinn M. Jónsson]]
|}

Person
Clinton, George
Lincoln, Abraham
Wilson, Woodrow
Eisenhower, Dwight D.
Clinton, Bill
Ångström, Anders Jonas
Þorsteinn M. Jónsson

Method 3

(included for comparison with the previous suggestions). Using wikilinked names, piped only where necessary.

• Advantages: short, easy to set up, names displayed in natural order
• Disadvantage: sort is by first name ie Ab, An, B, D, G, W but then Þ; non-English and accented letters give undesirable results

{|class="wikitable sortable"
!Person
|-
|[[George Clinton (vice president)]]
|-
|[[Abraham Lincoln]]
|-
|[[Woodrow Wilson]]
|-
|[[Dwight D. Eisenhower]]
|-
|[[Bill Clinton]]
|-
|[[Anders Jonas Ångström]]
|-
|[[Þorsteinn M. Jónsson]]
|}

Person
George Clinton (vice president)
Abraham Lincoln
Woodrow Wilson
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Bill Clinton
Anders Jonas Ångström
Þorsteinn M. Jónsson

Cases 1 & 2 cover the situation where the article name does not correspond exactly with the person's name, as with George Clinton. Where method 1 really scores is when you have names which include accented letters, or letters not found in the English language, as with Anders Jonas Ångström. It also covers the case where a country does not use the normal UK/USA sorting rules, such as Þorsteinn M. Jónsson (Icelandic - the letter Þ counts as the English "Th", but in Iceland you sort by firstname then lastname)

Flags for the Olympics

If I use the following template code {{flagIOC|TCH}} ... the resulting display will be:  Czechoslovakia. Is there any template or any way to get the output display result to be the icon of the flag and simply the three letter IOC Olympic country code right next to it (instead of the full country name spelled out)? So, in this case, I'd want the flag of Czechoslovakia followed by the Wikipedia link to the IOC code for Czechoslovakia (TCH). Is this possible? Also, how do I account for different flags in different Olympic years? Say, for example, the Czech flag at the 1924 Olympics was different than the Czech flag at the 2010 Olympics. How do I modify the template to show the correct flag of that certain year? Thanks. (64.252.68.102 (talk) 00:25, 23 February 2010 (UTC))

Well, for the 2010 games, you will use the IOC code for the Czech Republic. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 00:27, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

For the second question:  Canada or  Saar (edit to see wikicode; Czechoslovakia's flag wasn't different in 1924) Xenon54 / talk / 00:29, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

The first question is probably better answered at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Olympics as I'm sure someone there is intimately familiar with all the different flag templates. Xenon54 / talk / 02:48, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

I am the original poster. Perhaps I need to re-phrase my question. My question really has nothing to do with the specific country of Czechoslovakia or the specific year of 1924 or even the Olympics. The question is for any country and any year and any Olympic three-character IOC code: is there a template that displays the flag icon followed by the three-character IOC code ... as opposed to the flag icon followed by the full name of the country? Furthermore ... if so ... how does one modify this template when flags change in different time periods? The 1924 Czechoslovakia flag was just a hypothetical example. Thanks. (64.252.68.102 (talk) 04:19, 23 February 2010 (UTC))

If you take a look at Template:Country flag IOC alias JPN and you press the edit button, you will see the periods that are blank. That is where you put the flags. Default is the current flag. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 04:26, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. But, when I click that link, there is no "edit" button present. Can you list here on this page exactly what keys I need to type to create what I am seeking? That is, the flag icon with the 3-letter IOC code immediately following it. Thanks. Also, how does one modify all this for different flags that were in place during different years in history? Thank you. (64.252.68.102 (talk) 15:04, 23 February 2010 (UTC))

It's a protected page, so instead of "edit" it has "view source". You can move around in this, mark and copy text to your clipboard just like an edit window, but you can't alter anything. --Redrose64 (talk) 16:20, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

OK, thanks. I checked out the "view source". But, I must be missing something. I honestly don't see how that assists me in what I am attempting to do? Please explain more explicitly what I need to do? Thanks. (64.252.68.102 (talk) 17:55, 23 February 2010 (UTC))

I don't think Zscout's answer actually does what you want. I can't find a template that primarily displays the IOC: on the contrary they all seem to convert the IOC to the full name. However, it seems to me that Template:FlagIOC has an undocumented argument 'name', so if I'm right, then {{FlagIOC|TCH|name=TCH}} will do what you want.  Czechoslovakia It does! --ColinFine (talk) 18:46, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Perfect! Thanks! Now, do you also know how to modify it for different flags of different years (for the same country)? Thank you. (64.252.68.102 (talk) 18:54, 23 February 2010 (UTC))

The paramaters would be {{flagIOC|<IOC code>|<year> Summer/Winter|name=<alternative text you want displayed>}} Entering the year plus Summer or Winter will display whatever flag that country or olympic team used during that olympics, and link to that country's year-specific olympic article. Example:{{flagIOC|USA|1936 Summer|name=USA}} displays the 48-star flag flown during the 1936 Summer Olympics.DCmacnut<> 19:06, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Wonderful! Thanks for all the help! I really appreciate it. Thank you. (64.252.68.102 (talk) 14:34, 24 February 2010 (UTC))
