Actually, the Gamepedia split, which happened long before my time, was created due to Wikia making a number of changes like ad space, making content page smaller for the ads, etc. However, now that both are owned under the same company again, they're actually looking to combine communities again (you can read more on that though through community central).

It's reverted because of consistentcy. Sorting by default goes 2 ways for tables: either by alphabetical or by numerical. If a reader clicked on the sorting with those number values, it creates confusion as the words are alphabetical but not sorting as they should alphabetically. Using numbers doesn't help in this case unless you put the physical number in to show why it's sorting that way (but obviously doesn't make sense to do that either as numbers aren't part of the in game information unlike Chapter numbers). In this case, it's better to just leave it alphabetical because 1) it's not that big of table so it can be viewed easily on a screen with scrolling and 2) potency isn't the most important field in the table, but rather equal with the rest (otherwise we'd have sorted by potency instead of... whatever order it is using... actually maybe should just convert that to DPL as well now that I think about it). Also the content summary is there but as we can only type much it's in an abbreviated form.
