Can someone put these in chronological order instead of alphabetical? That would make more sense.

Unfortunately, this list is automatically generated, and the way the MediaWiki software that powers the wiki works, categories are all displayed alphabetically. It's not impossible to get around, but it's complicated, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categorization#Category_sorting over at wikipedia. I have an idea for how to do this, using the video template, but if it doesn't work, we have to either compile the list manually, or go back and edit every single video page with a tag for where it should be.--JayHenry 15:18, 31 January 2007 (CST)

Uh, actually that was a lot simpler than I thought it would be. I made the template sort the categories by episode number. It's not perfect because not all videos were numbered the same way. I guess videos should be number 0088, 0100, 0124, etc. Without using that same four digit structure it doesn't sort right. (the reason, for those curious, is that although it sorts by number, it sorts alphabetically by number, so it considers 0120 to come before 100, just as ABCA comes before BAA. So we need to go manually change videos that aren't numbered with all four-digits and then these pages will be fine.--JayHenry 15:29, 31 January 2007 (CST)

Meh, that was still too much work! Thanks for taking care of it though, that was nice of you. OwenIsCool 22:25, 31 January 2007 (CST)

Do you think that would be possible for category pages that list Users? I may answer this one myself with research, ... never mind, I think I got it. --Brucker 16:12, 8 February 2007 (CST)
