This template is for optionally sorting tables by specified sortkeys.

If necessary, one can apply sorting using a sortkey that [[wikipedia:Help:Cascading_style_sheets#Non-display|due to CSS is not displayed]]: <nowiki><span style="display:none">...</span></nowiki>. Javascript sorting is based on the text inside and outside the tags, without the tags themselves. A hidden sortkey can be put at the start.

This template makes that more convenient. The first parameter is the sortkey; the second parameter is the wikitext of what has to be displayed. By default, this is the sortkey with link brackets.

;To use it, place this in your table cell:
<pre>
|{{sort|Brothers Karamazov|[[The Brothers Karamazov]]}}
</pre>

It presently works through hidden CSS, as described at [[wikipedia:Help:Sorting|Help:Sorting]]. If a cleaner way of doing this is developed, the template will be changed. A table using this template should use it in all rows.
