Earlier: "...[how to] empower MediaWiki
(code / variables / MySQL?) to show
articles titles in lists sorted by numeric
value, not text value...
...now...(example):
[[1800]]
[[1801.1]]
[[1801]]
[[700]]
...Rather then the preferred:
[[700]]
[[1800]]
[[1801]]
[[1801.1]]
... Is this a MySQL database quirk, or
something selectable in PHP, even if
requiring an enhancement?..."
Considering this example at Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Categories&limit=500
...
# 1009 establishments (2 members)
# 100 BC (6 members)
...
...I'd presume that no one has addressed the "sort by
numeric value, not text value" challenge yet. Has anyone? Does anyone
have any clue as to where this sorting alternative (numeric versus text)
may be addressed? MySQL or PHP or ...? Anybody? Anybody?
