[Wikia-l] Automatic table sorting

Those are the things you can order by.

However, if you want to order by a parameter passed to a template, 
that's not possible for technical reasons (Though you can always add the 
'sortable' class to the table to let JS sort it).
Sorting by that kind of thing is something that Semantic MediaWiki could 
only do. It would probably actually work the nicest for what it looks 
like you are trying to do.
