Module:Sorted plain list
 | This module is rated as ready for general use. It has reached a mature form and is thought to be relatively bug-free and ready for use wherever appropriate. It is ready to mention on help pages and other Wikipedia resources as an option for new users to learn. To reduce server load and bad output, it should be improved by sandbox testing rather than repeated trial-and-error editing. |

Overview
This module may be used to generate a sorted "plain list", which is a sorted unordered HTML list without visible bullets.
- There are six possible sort modes
ascis ascending as defined by the default LUA string comparison operator.descis descending as defined by the default LUA string comparison operator.ascwith|type=numberis ascending using numeric comparison instead of string comparison.descwith|type=numberis descending using numeric comparison instead of string comparison.ascdis ascending dictionary order, so spaces are sorted before other characters.descdis descending dictionary order, so spaces are sorted before other characters.
- By default, the list is assumed to be delimited by commas, this can be changed to semicolons or any other choice.
- The list may be implicitly loaded from a wikidata property using the
|propertyID=parameter, which will override any explicitly specified values.
Usage
To convert a comma separated list to a sorted plainlist, use
{{#invoke:sorted plain list|asc|<comma separated entries>}}{{#invoke:sorted plain list|desc|<comma separated entries>}}{{#invoke:sorted plain list|ascd|<comma separated entries>}}{{#invoke:sorted plain list|descd|<comma separated entries>}}
To convert a semicolon separated list to a sorted plainlist, use
{{#invoke:sorted plain list|asc|<semicolon separated entries>|;}}{{#invoke:sorted plain list|desc|<semicolon separated entries>|;}}{{#invoke:sorted plain list|ascd|<semicolon separated entries>|;}}{{#invoke:sorted plain list|descd|<semicolon separated entries>|;}}
To convert a semicolon separated list of numbers to a sorted plainlist, use
{{#invoke:sorted plain list|asc|<semicolon separated entries>|;|type=number}}{{#invoke:sorted plain list|desc|<semicolon separated entries>|;|type=number}}
To convert a wikidata property list to a sorted plainlist, use
{{#invoke:sorted plain list|asc|propertyID=<PNUMBER>}}{{#invoke:sorted plain list|desc|propertyID=<PNUMBER>}}{{#invoke:sorted plain list|ascd|propertyID=<PNUMBER>}}{{#invoke:sorted plain list|descd|propertyID=<PNUMBER>}}
Examples
{{#invoke:sorted plain list|asc|apples, oranges, bananas}} → - bananas
- oranges
- apples
{{#invoke:sorted plain list|desc|apples, oranges, bananas}} → - apples
- oranges
- bananas
{{#invoke:sorted plain list|asc|Santa Fe, Santa Rosa, Santana}} → - Santa Rosa
- Santana
- Santa Fe
{{#invoke:sorted plain list|desc|Santa Fe, Santa Rosa, Santana}} → - Santa Fe
- Santana
- Santa Rosa
{{#invoke:sorted plain list|ascd|Santa Fe, Santa Rosa, Santana}} → Script error: The function "ascd" does not exist.
{{#invoke:sorted plain list|descd|Santa Fe, Santa Rosa, Santana}} → Script error: The function "descd" does not exist.
