Added a new extension that creates a tag to sort lists: <nowiki><sort></nowiki>
 +
 +
see [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Sort Sort]
 +
 +
It works like this:
 +
<pre>
 +
<sort>
 +
all
 +
your
 +
base
 +
are
 +
belong
 +
to
 +

</sort>
 +

 +
Will produce this:

 +
<sort>
 +

 +

 +

 +
to
 +

So i got a bit bored, and inspired by Jens's character statistics on the forums:
