This template uses Lua:

Module:Number table sorting

Template:ntsh is deprecated. Please use Template:number table sorting instead.

The {{number table sorting}} template now also creates sort keys that are hidden, so please use that template instead. This template should be used for numbers only!

This is the TemplateData for this template used by TemplateWizard, VisualEditor and other tools. Click here to see a monthly parameter usage report for this template based on this TemplateData.

TemplateData for Ntsh

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 Wikipedia:Help:Sorting. 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.

Template parameters
