Template to automatically add row numbers to sortable tables. The row numbers will not be sorted when columns of data are sorted. A possible note to add above a table: {{noprint|'''''Row numbers''' are static. Other columns are sortable. This allows ranking of any column.''}}
These templates work together and make table formatting fast:
Place template before table where the automatic row numbers are required. Add class static-row-numbers to the table wikitext, as in the following example. It adds an unsorted column of row numbers.

While designed to provide a static row number for sortable tables, it can be used just to add an automatic row number to plain tables.

Marking additional header and footer rows with static-row-header[మార్చు]
The class static-row-header is added to additional header rows (other than the first one). It prevents those header rows from having row numbers. It also prevents them from being sorted. It is important to add this class for consistent appearance in different Wikipedia skins and views. It is necessary for correct numbering in the minerva skin on mobile view which renders HTML tables differently.

Marking footer or header rows that also contain data cells (non-header cells)[మార్చు]
To prevent them from sorting class=sorttop or class=sortbottom must also be added. For an example of header rows like this see this version of the 2021 table in this list article.

Add class=srn-white-background to the top line of the table wikitext. It can be used on tables with inline cell or row background colors. Neither are affected by this class.
