Template:Ntsh
 | This template will create valid sort keys for numbers only! Use {{Sms}} for text. |
Ntsh (Number Table Sorting, Hidden) generates a hidden sort key that allows numbers to sort correctly when a column of a sortable table needs to be sorted alphabetically. This template is a hidden version of {{Number table sorting}}. See Help:Tables#Sortable_tables. It can be used to prefix non-numeric entries; for example, using {{ntsh|0}}None will cause "None" to be sorted as if it had a numeric value of zero.
This template has the same limitation as {{Number table sorting}}. Please read Template:Number table sorting#Limitations
Parameters
The first unnamed parameter must be a number.
The only option is |debug=yes which causes the search key to be displayed in a box followed by the number.
Usage
{{ntsh|some number}}
This template is not intended for use with non numeric input. Doing so will result in an error message.
Output
No output is displayed when using almost all browsers. If a text browser is used the result is undefined. See Wikipedia:Accessibility#Users with limited CSS/JavaScript support.
