TemplateData for Ntsh

Ntsh (Number Table Sorting, Hidden) generates a hidden sort key that allows numbers to sort correctly when a column of a sortable table needs to be sorted alphabetically. This template is a hidden version of {{Number table sorting}}. See Help:Sorting#Sorting with a hidden key. It can be used to prefix non-numeric entries; for example, using {{ntsh|0}}None will cause "None" to be sorted as if it had a numeric value of zero.

This template has the same limitation as {{Number table sorting}}. Please read Template:Number table sorting#Limitations.

Parameter		Description	Type	Status
Sort value	1	The value which this table row will sort as, when sorted against the output of other cells using ntsh or number table sorting.	Number	required
Debug mode	debug	If set to yes, causes the search key to be displayed in a box followed by the number. Do not use in article space.	Unknown	optional
