Talk:List of countries by aluminium production

Sorting is messed up
The numeric columns in the table are sorting like text, so ascending rank gives you 1, then 10, then 11. I've been trying to compare the code to the table at the steel by country page, which sorts correctly, but I'm having trouble figuring out what needs doing.

Lowest cost smelter in the world. Started production in 2014

Maybe the least polluting smelter per ton because uses natural gas as fuel.
