This Lua module is used on approximately 26,000 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the module's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own module sandbox. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

This module depends on the following other modules: Module:Arguments (sandbox) Module:String (sandbox)

Module:Sort title is used to create sortkeys for pages.

The module preforms the following checks:

• If the first word of the title is an article, it moves it to the end of the title. For example: The Avengers will have a sortkey of Avengers, The.
• If the title is disambiguated and the first word of the disambiguation is an article, it moves it to the end of the disambiguation. For example: Pilot (The Flash) will have a sortkey of Pilot (Flash, The).
• If the title is disambiguated and the first word of the title and the disambiguation is an article, both of the above changes will occur. For example: The End (A Series of Unfortunate Events) will have a sortkey of End, The (Series of Unfortunate Events, A).
• If the title is a number which is separated by a commas, it removes the commas. For example: 4,722 Hours will have a sortkey of 4722 Hours.
