So I read through [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Categories] and those links are automatically generated - we can't edit them. Their ability to sort is kind of limited, the way you do it is by making the last line [[Category:Musicblock|thing-that-replaces-page-title-in-sorting]] and then they get stowed under the first letter of (thing-that-replaces-page-title-in-sorting) and ordered in alphabetical order based on the value of (thing-that-replaces-page-title-in-sorting). Long story short, I updated each musicblock's page so each series is listed under a different letter of the alphabet according to the following rules:
 +
'DB-' : 'B',
 +
'DG-' : 'G',
 +
'DR-' : 'R',

'SB-' : 'S',

'XS-' : 'X'

It looks kind of weird but at least they're grouped now... hope that helped :p  - [[User:Eglantine|Eglantine]] 12:17, 24 January 2011 (MST)

Can this category be sorted by the type of Musicblocks, eg. DR, XS. I'd be willing to do it, but on the Edit Page, it doesn't come up with the links.

So I read through [1] and those links are automatically generated - we can't edit them. Their ability to sort is kind of limited, the way you do it is by making the last line [[Category:Musicblock|thing-that-replaces-page-title-in-sorting]] and then they get stowed under the first letter of (thing-that-replaces-page-title-in-sorting) and ordered in alphabetical order based on the value of (thing-that-replaces-page-title-in-sorting). Long story short, I updated each musicblock's page so each series is listed under a different letter of the alphabet according to the following rules: 'DB-' : 'B', 'DG-' : 'G', 'DR-' : 'R', 'SB-' : 'S', 'XS-' : 'X' It looks kind of weird but at least they're grouped now... hope that helped :p - Eglantine 12:17, 24 January 2011 (MST)
