To sort by the above tables, click on the triangle. Then hold the [[Shift key]] and click on the triangle to sort by another column, while keeping the order for the first column when values of the second column are equal.
=== Criticisms, Suggestions and Comments ===
I need some advice on [[Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Accessibility/Data_tables_tutorial#Summary|MOS Table Summaries]], [[Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Accessibility/Data_tables_tutorial#Color|Table Color]] (used to emphasize motion of rows during sorting), and the five across tables.
Also which, if any data elements, should I get rid of? I think omitting a few more cities named Rockford might help, right?
Anyway, I would like this to be a nice example, which allows interaction using the built-in Wikipedia functionality for sortable tables.
Finally, where can I find documentation for normal users that the holding [[Shift key]] while clicking a sort triangle maintains the previous column(s) sort order? Did you know about this?
