Talk:Zaishen Mission/Schedule

The Schedule
Can't we just put every mission on there, it's done a full loop now right? so we can predict the whole loop. Put them in date order, not alphabetical, and when ever someone comes to update the page, (deleting all the old ones - which seems to be what is happening) they can just change the dates of the old ones and put them on the end of the list? Because at the moment I can't find a few missions, at least one I am sure is a z mission, the others could no be but i am not aware that it skips any missions. &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by 92.16.253.54 (contribs).
 * The list is a predicted, and isn't being updated manually, since we found out the pattern, we could indeed predict them, and that's what this page does. It's in a sortable wikitable, you can click the boxes at the top of the table to sort the list in whatever way you want. If you want it sorted by date, click on the box next to the word "date" in the table, and read. --  Random  Time   00:29, July 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * @Ishy, or another coder-type person, is there any way we could sort this table by date as a default? --  Random  Time   00:31, July 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * I've answered this multiple times in other places already: No, there is no way to set a default sort column for a table. Lacking that, the only logical default ordering is alphabetical.
 * @Anon: It already has every mission on it (every mission that has a Zquest, anyway). Like RT said, all you have to do is click on the arrows in the "Date" header and it will sort by date.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 01:14, July 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * That's a shame, but I thought as much --  Random  Time   01:23, July 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Isn't there a way to add a hook that checks, when a page has loaded, if a sortable table is on it and whether it has a default sort order set (we could maybe indicate the column by a "class=default" in the th tag for that column, or put "col4" in the table class, or something similar)? and then call the function that clicking the "sort" icon would call? -- ◄mendel► 01:50, July 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * I want to say I've tried that, but I could never get it to work properly. &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 02:26, July 8, 2010 (UTC)
