A JavaScript-based (client-side) plugin, which can be used to create sortable tables. It is optional for linkmanager plugin.

For server-side sorting or more robust sort facilities use Sam Wilson's sorter, based on https://github.com/Mottie/tablesorter (supports server-side sorting): https://github.com/samwilson/dokuwiki_sortablejs

After installing the plugin you should make sure that your DokuWiki cache is updated. This can easily be done by changing any parameter value in settings (or by doing a touch conf/local.php).

You need to set <sortable> and </sortable> tags around your table.

<sortable>
^  Col1  ^  Col3  ^  Col3      ^
|  1     | one    |02/25/2008  |
|  2     | two    |02/14/2008  |
</sortable>

Table initially sorted by column 1

<sortable 1>
^  Col1  ^  Col3  ^  Col3      ^
|  1     | one    |02/25/2008  |
|  2     | two    |02/14/2008  |
</sortable>

Table initially reverse sorted by column 1

<sortable r1>
^  Col1  ^  Col3  ^  Col3      ^
|  1     | one    |2008-02-25  |
|  2     | two    |2008-02-14  |
</sortable>

To sort the columns you (the page viewer) just needs to click on the correct column on the first row. A second click on the same column reverses sort.

<sortable [[r]column] [sumrow[=2]] [column=alpha|numeric|date|nosort] [3phase]>

  <sortable r1 sumrow=2 3phase 1=numeric 2=alpha 3=nosort>
            ││   │        │         │       │      │
            ││   │        │         │       │      └ No sort option for column 3
            ││   │        │         │       └ Sort column 2 as text always
            ││   │        │         └ Sort column 1 as numeric always
            ││   │        └ Add a 3-phase sort option. Normal, Reverse and Back to original order.
            ││   └ Prevent last 2 rows from sort. The number can be omitted. Default is last row (=1)
            │└ Initially sort by column 1 on page load
            └ Reverse initial sort

Date type is sorted, e.g. if US american date format mm/dd/yyyy is used. Of course the format yyyy-mm-dd will be correctly sorted, even if not labeled at all.
