Why is the last column not sorting correctly?
In both tables below, why is the last column (on the right) not sorting correctly? The one that is entitled "Current Age". There does not seem to be any rhyme or reason to the sorting results. Also, does not the "age" template return a value that is a number (that should be easy for the computer to sort)? (And not a "string" where the number 100 is considered the characters "1" and "0" and "0".)  Thanks. Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 00:58, 4 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Hello . Your tables' second column was also not sorting. I've corrected the first table. You could make the same changes in the second. Thanks. Lourdes  01:10, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Thanks.  But, you didn't really "fix" the last column.  It used to say "years old" and I still want that "years old" in there (not deleted out).  Why does it not work correctly?  Also, what do you mean about the second column?   The actor names?   They sort just fine, no?   Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 01:12, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
 * I have fixed the last column in the second table by inserting  in the header cell. See  Help:Sorting. I guess Lourdes was referring to people usually being sorted by surname. Sortname can help with that. PrimeHunter (talk) 01:24, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
