Note: Category:Articles with tables with fixed row numbers uses a deprecated template. Please replace it with {{Static row numbers}}.

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:

Some are used together here: List of U.S. states and territories by incarceration and correctional supervision rate

Usage with wikitable and sortable

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.

With wikitable and sortable
Name Number Another Number
A 10 1000
B 50 800
C 100 150
D 20 700
E 70 350
{{Static row numbers}}
{| class="wikitable sortable static-row-numbers"
! Name !! Number !! Another Number
|-
| A || 10 || 1000
|-
| B || 50 || 800
|-
| C || 100 || 150
|-
| D || 20 || 700
|-
| E || 70 || 350
|}

Usage with sortable

D 20 700
E 70 350

|-
| C || 100 || 150
|-
| D || 20 || 700
|-
| E || 70 || 350
|}

Usage with no other classes

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.

With no other classes
Name Number Another Number
A 10 1000
B 50 800
C 100 150
D 20 700
E 70 350

|-

Using static-row-header-hash to add a hash # column header

This adds a hash # as the row number column header.

Marking additional header and footer rows with static-row-header

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.

A 10 1000
B 50 800
C 100 150
D 20 700
E 70 350
Totals 250 3000
{{Static row numbers}}
{| class="wikitable sortable static-row-numbers"
! Name !! Number !! Another Number
|- class="static-row-header"
!  !! (unit) !! (per capita)
|-
| A || 10 || 1000
|-

|-
| D || 20 || 700
|-
| E || 70 || 350
|- class="static-row-header"
! Totals !! 250 !! 3000
|}

Marking footer or header rows that also contain data cells (non-header cells)

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.

White background for data cells

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.

This class is unnecessary if you are using this:

The class is incorporated into that template.
