[Mediawiki-l] Pre-Sorting Table Rows

[Bobby S]

Is there a way to pre-sort table rows?  For example, look at this page:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_United_States_Core_Based_Statistical_Areas

Note the very large table.  Every row must be input perfectly in terms
of rank.  Is there a way someone could just add a row at the bottom of
rank 1, but it would pre-sort the rows on the front-end so that this
row showed at the top?
