Sorting numbers
[edit]Integers in this category are sorted according to matching series numbers.
a is the first digit of a given positive integer with n digits. The series number is:
- 0 if n=1
- a followed by (n-1) 0 digits if n>1
Example: 256
- first digit: 2
- n=3, 2× 0 digits: 00
The series number is: 200.
So, a page about number 256 (like Category:256 (number)) will be categorized as follows:
- [[Category:Integers|200 256]]
More generally, any page about an integer will be categorized as follows:
- [[Category:Integers|series number number]]

- I think it's much better to put them in numeric order. I mean, that's really the only way that makes sense, right? So that's why I made {{Numbercategory}}. All you need to do is add that template to top of the category and put the number in the 1st parameter (i.e. {{numbercategory|number goes here}}). This auto-categorizes, auto-sorts, and adds a little navigation box (and possibly more). If we ever want to reorder the list the later we can simply change the template.
