"not sortable because there's no reason to do so"

Ever heard of Occam's Razor rule? It fits so perfectly here..!

Adding the unsortable tag is an action — one that doesn't even bring any value.

If there's "no reason to" sort that column — nobody will and no "unsortable" tag is needed.

It hurts no one to leave it sortable.

"it'd literally just sort by alphabetatical order which isn't helpful there"

It is and I told you how. I don't think you wanna hear me.

I just gave you a reason but here we go again...

Check this out:

Suppose you wanna make sure you didn't miss any quests in chapter 1 before leaving it. Edit that section, enable sorting, sort by conditions, all automatic ones get lumped together, now instead of checking each row, you can easily skip the lump of guaranteed quests, which you can't miss anyway.

Would you fight splitting the tables into Primary/Secondary quests?

"the content summary is there"

By "contents summary" I meant that little box with anchor links present on most pages with headers.

Not the description.

"potency isn't the most important field in the table"

What is?

"it creates confusion"

That's basically a way of saying 'data-sort-value' tag is useless. I strongly disagree.

It's an utter pain in the ass looking up that table every single time.

If you wanted to be objective, grab and ask random wikia visitors which way to sort makes more sense:

Do you really think at least a couple of them would prefer the former?
 * Basic → Greater → Lesser
 * Lesser → Basic → Greater

Fine. Be it your way. You want a paiful-to-use wikia, you'll clearly going to have yourself one at any cost.

Having to fight an uphill battle for every single edit means this wikia isn't being allowed to get developed.
