is there
something like a <sort>-Tag in Mediawiki?
Sounds like a job for an extension. Sounds like a couple hours of work
max if you know your way around PHP and Unix.
Still seems like something best done externally and then dumped back
in the wiki by humans to me...
You're right, of course.
It would be neat if you could easily sort in-place, rather than
copy-paste.
On the Mac, you can do this in ANY editable window with a Service.
(Services -> Format -> Sort Lines Ascending)
(Well, ALMOST any window, Microsoft crap being the notable exception).
That's the BEST way to do it, IMHO. Why send all the stuff to be sorted
across the Internet, just to end up in the same window? But the rest of
the world has yet to catch up with Apple.
