User:Alex 21/script-categoriessort.js is a script that sorts categories in an article alphabetically.
Installation
editTo install the script, add:
importScript('User:Alex 21/script-functions.js');
importScript('User:Alex 21/script-categoriessort.js');
>>> User:Alex 21/script-functions.js is required to include multiple shared functions, and the custom "TV Scripts" header, many of which are used identically in a few of my other scripts - you only need to include it in Special:MyPage/common.js once. Follow the instructions at User:Alex 21/script-functions for installing scripts by Alex 21. <<<
Upon clicking the "Sort categories" link under "Tools" on the left, the script will sort categories alphabetically, with eponymous categories appearing first, and categories starting with "A [..]" or "The [..]" being sorted according to their second word. So, running it on an article with:
[[Category:Serial drama television series]] [[Category:American action television series]] [[Category:2010s American time travel television series]] [[Category:2012 American television series debuts]] [[Category:The CW shows]] [[Category:American adventure television series]]
will result in the categories being listed as:
[[Category:2010s American time travel television series]] [[Category:2012 American television series debuts]] [[Category:American action television series]] [[Category:American adventure television series]] [[Category:The CW shows]] [[Category:Serial drama television series]]
