টেমপ্লেট:Sortable medal image documentation

This template is for including medal symbols in sporting event result tables, while preserving the ability for sort.

The {{Gold1}}, {{Gold medal}}, {{Silver2}}, {{Silver medal}}, {{Bronze3}} and {{Bronze medal}} templates support sorting in tables with one digit place numbers, while the {{Gold01}}, {{Silver02}}, and {{Bronze03}} templates support sorting in tables with two digit place numbers.

Usage

Simply insert the template where you would like to see the symbol. No parameters are required.

`{{Gold medal}}`	`{{Gold1}}`	`{{Gold01}}`
`{{Silver medal}}`	`{{Silver2}}`	`{{Silver02}}`
`{{Bronze medal}}`	`{{Bronze3}}`	`{{Bronze-3}}`

For tables where the sorted column contains only numbers and the above templates, sorting will work fine. However, if the column contains any non-numeric text, including the display value in any {{Sort}} templates, the sort function will perform a text sort instead of a numeric sort. To get the desired sort results it may be necessary to use the {{Sort}} template to specify appropriate sort keys to be inserted as hidden text in front of the displayed values. For example "{{Sort|9|DQ}}" displays "DQ" but sorts using "9 DQ".

Also, for text sorting to give appropriate results for numeric values, all values must have the same number of integer digits. Again, the {{Sort}} template can also be used for this. For example, "9" will sort higher than "10", but "{{Sort|09|9}}" will sort lower than "10". To support tables having where rank exceeds 9 that also have non-numeric content, the "{{Gold01}}", "{{Silver02}}", and "{{Bronze03}}" templates are provided. These templates yield short keys "01", "02", and "03". See the second example below.

Examples

The following code...

{| class="wikitable sortable" style=text-align:center
|-
! Rank !! Place
|-
| {{Gold1}} || First
|-
| {{Silver2}} || Second
|-
| {{Bronze3}} || Third
|-
| 4 || Fourth
|-
| 5 || Fifth
|-
| 6 || Sixth
|-
| 7 || Seventh
|-
| 8 || Eighth
|-
| 9 || Ninth
|}

...will display as:

Rank	Place
	First
	Second
	Third
4	Fourth
5	Fifth
6	Sixth
7	Seventh
8	Eighth
9	Ninth

For example, the following code using two digit sorting...

{| class="wikitable sortable" style=text-align:center
|-
! Rank !! Place !! Bad Sort
|-
| {{Gold01}} || First || {{Gold1}}
|-
| {{Silver02}} || Second || {{Silver2}}
|-
| {{Bronze03}} || Third || {{Bronze3}}
|-
| {{Sort|04|4}} || Fourth || 4
|-
| {{Sort|05|5}} || Fifth || 5
|-
| 10 || Tenth || 10
|-
| 11 || Eleventh  || 11
|-
| 20 || Twentieth || 20
|-
| 50 || Fiftieth || 50
|-
| {{Sort|98|NM}} || No mark || NM
|-
| {{Sort|99|DQ}} || Disqualified || DQ
|}

...will displays as:

Rank	Place	Bad Sort
	First
	Second
	Third
4	Fourth	4
5	Fifth	5
10	Tenth	10
11	Eleventh	11
20	Twentieth	20
50	Fiftieth	50
NM	No mark	NM
DQ	Disqualified	DQ
