Ok, now I almost have what I want, I'm already able to dynamically generate wiki tables from lua array, and specify which cell should be a title, have specific style and col/row-span. :) Now my data module[1] use a hash, and what I would like is to sort my array before I generate my wiki table. So reading some documentation, I thought naively that something like the follwing code, I putted in [2] would work: function compare(a,b) return a[1] < b[1] end … dekuma = ciferaro.dekuma table.sort(dekuma, compare) … But no, it doesn't, I still generate a randomly ordered wiki table. So, what did I missed? [1] http://fr.wikiversity.org/wiki/Module:Fabeleblo/ciferaro [2] http://fr.wikiversity.org/wiki/Module:Fabeleblo Le lundi 19 août 2013 à 19:31 +0200, Mathieu Stumpf a écrit :

It looks to me like something which may be of real common use, so maybe integrating a function in the mw.* library may be interesting. On the other hand may be I'm just not acustomed with the idiomatic way to build lua code and one may suggest me to architecture my code in an other way. -- Association Culture-Libre http://www.culture-libre.org/
