Number alignment

[edit]

@Yerevantsi: how is it an improvement?

The improvement is lining up the numbers so they can be compared across the table. โ€” ๐†๐ฎ๐š๐ซ๐š๐ฉ๐ข๐ซ๐š๐ง๐ ๐š (talk) 11:36, 6 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yerevantsi. {{srn}} (static row numbers) is much better row numbering than {{rank}}. {{srn}} is integrated into the table, and allows editing of the table via the Visual Editor. Zooming the font size has no effect on row alignment. Browser window width has no effect on row alignment. Rows can have multiple lines without effecting row alignment. So {{rank}} is deprecated. --Timeshifter (talk) 12:47, 6 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
He was actually referring to this edit, Timeshifter. โ€” ๐†๐ฎ๐š๐ซ๐š๐ฉ๐ข๐ซ๐š๐ง๐ ๐š (talk) 21:44, 6 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oops. I struck out my previous comment.
Yerevantsi. I see now what Guarapiranga did. He right aligned the numbers in the column. This is a common improvement to tables, and it makes it easier to scan down a column.
But this messed up the sorting. The sorting is no longer correct because it is sorting by the years too.
So I support Yerevantsi's version of the table.
A possible solution is to put the years in separate columns. I have done that for tables.

But this messed up the sorting.
Yeah, that was one switcheroo too many. Could've kept the census year to the right, but in a separate column also works. Thanks for doing that, Yerevantsi. So now the numbers are aligned and can be sorted. โ€” ๐†๐ฎ๐š๐ซ๐š๐ฉ๐ข๐ซ๐š๐ง๐ ๐š (talk) 10:59, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
