== parameters ==

What do the 'create', 'order', 'numeric', and 'ascending'/'descending' parameters mean, how do they function, and how do I use 'colspan' and 'rowspan' on this module? -- [[User:PK2|PK2]] ([[User talk:PK2|talk]]) 07:51, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

== Edit request: Accessible code ==

{{edit template-protected|answered=yes}}

First of all, I hope I've used an appropriate temple for this edit request. There seems to be no [[Template:Edit module-protected]], and there's no [[Template: AutosortTable]] in front of this module.

My request is this: please add the necessary code to increase the compatibility of the output with [[WP:ACCESS]], esp. [[MOS:DTAB]].

Specifically, I'm hoping for two changes:

# Add the capability of specifying a table caption. (Wikitables do this with <code>|+ Some caption</code> in the wikicode.)

# When generating a new row, emit the first cell as a row header with scope. Wikitables do this with <code>!scope="row"| </code>. The current module code produces simple data cells with <code><nowiki><td></nowiki></code>, which doesn't help screen reader tools.

== Suggestion and bug ==

I was thinking this module will be very useful for making a WikiProject issues backlog list where the variable numbers of issues change and thus automatic sorting would be beneficial. However, one capability missing from AutosortTable to make that perfect is having a row become invisible if a threshold is met (e.g. < 50 issues). Being able to set a column-value-based condition for enabling a row to display would be awesome.

A bug I ran into is if a cell value contains an external link with a '?' in its URL, the whole row won't display. I was linking to a PetScan result. To work around this, I'm using the <nowiki>[[petscan:n|description]]</nowiki> approach instead.

Thank you for a really cool module and for considering my suggestion and a bug fix.

:Note: per the suggestion, I know I can put "<nowiki>display: {{#ifexpr: column-value >= 50 | table-row | none}}</nowiki>" at the beginning of each row, but it seems like an unnecessary bulking of the table code, when theoretically a simplified conditional based on whatever the column-value is could be set in one spot.
