  • In the category tree, it is important to use a sort key when categorizing an article. This aids in placing the articles in order when viewed from the category into which they are suggested to be placed. The above is written in the assumption that the user is using the CategorySelect feature. A few different sorting rules are applied here, but be careful -- individual categories may have special rules depending on the topic of the article. These will be listed on individual talk pages if they apply. Otherwise, the following situations are standard:

  • In the category tree, it is important to use a sort key when categorizing an article. This aids in placing the articles in order when viewed from the category into which they are suggested to be placed. Category sort keys can be entered into the categories individually after they are added by clicking the two opposite facing arrows next to the category name to bring up the category options. The lower edit box is where the sort key should be added. If you switch to code view it will appear as "[[Category:Name|sort key]]". The sort key can also be added or adjusted in code view. Applying a sort key to all categories listed in the article can be simply done by adding {{DEFAULTSORT:sort key}} to the bottom of the article. Note that if the categories have been individually given a sort key they will take preference over the DEFAULTSORT key. A category that has had a sort key added individually will have the arrows next to the category name lit up. This can be removed by going to category options and clearing the lower field or by removing the key after the pipe in code view. The above is written in the assumption that the user is using the CategorySelect feature. A few different sorting rules are applied here, but be careful -- individual categories may have special rules depending on the topic of the article. These will be listed on individual talk pages if they apply. Otherwise, the following situations are standard: Sort keys can be omitted if the articles are ready to be alphabetized as they were originally titled.
