Line 306:

Another way to sort a table using multiple sort keys is to hold down the shift key while clicking on the column headings for the subsequent sort keys. For example, to sort the table below on the Text column, then the Numbers column, first click on the "Text" column heading (the primary sort key), then hold down the shift key and click on the "Numbers" column heading (the secondary sort key).

There can be a problem if the [[User:Endo999/GoogleTrans|Google translation gadget]] (see [[User talk:Endo999/GoogleTrans#Interference with secondary sorting in tables|discussion]]) is enabled in [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-gadgets|gadget preferencesPreferences/Gadgets]] (in browsing'Browsing' section). It may seem like shift-click secondary sorting is not working because of the delay due to the translation popup for the name in the column head. There are many [https://www.google.com/search?q=browser+translation+addons browser translation addons] that work as well or better than the gadget. The gadget can be turned on and off quickly, once enabled in preferences, from the "MoreTools" menu at the topupper right of any page.
