Talk:List of Calgary Flames draft picks

message: This article's statistics aren't sorting properly. Being that it's a featured list, that should probably be fixed. Does anyone know how to fix this that wouldn't mind taking care of it? Pinging  since you put the article through its FLC. Gloss 06:22, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I was actually noticing that myself yesterday.  I think the problem is that the sortability function does not understand how to handle an empty cell, which causes the table to default to a form of alpha sorting, thus breaking the numeric sorting.  I might have to ask the people who know the underlying code if that can be fixed. Resolute 14:19, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text:  It looks like the issue can be fixed by adding in  to the empty cells. If you think you'd be able to get around to adding those in, that'd be great, but if not I could possibly get around to it eventually! Gloss</span> 01:35, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

text: The whole table might need the sort templates on each number.
H1	H2	H3	H4	H5
  	  	  	  	
  	  	  	  	
  	  	  	  	
  	  	  	  	
  	  	  	  	
  	  	  	  	
  	  	  	  	
Looks like that worked. Gloss</span> 17:53, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

text: Yes, wrapping every single cell in a sort template does work, but I think that is also a tremendously bad workaround when the problem exists in the table coding itself.  Aside from bloating the size of the page, a list such as this runs a high risk of hitting the template limit. Resolute 19:43, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

replies: text: Wikipedia:Template limits.  I recall a few VPT and ANI threads in the past about problems caused when a page hit the limit. Resolute 20:54, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Interesting. It's used in List of Detroit Red Wings draft picks and was suggested to me during the List of New York Islanders players list I believe, so I used it again while putting together List of New York Islanders draft picks. It is a very big workload, though. Gloss</span> 21:13, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
