(Revised) Rank sorting system

edit

It seemed efficacious to be able to sort this list by ranks, so I devised a system to keep the sorting script from simply sorting alphabetically. For the list to sort wrestlers by their ranks top/down, I devised the following, revised, system:

Put the following code before the rank name in the rank column:

<span style="display:none">X</span>

The X needs to be replaced by a number corresponding to the rank:

Yokozuna = a
Ozeki = b
Sekiwake = c
Komusubi = d
Maegashira #1-#9 = e
Maegashira #10 and up = f
Juryo #1-#9 = g0
Juryo #10 and up = g1
Makushita = h
Sandanme = i
Jonidan = j
Jonokuchi = k

Makushita downwards wrestlers have a lot of wrestlers and in order to be sorted correctly they would need even more numbers following them: i.e. Makushita #20-29 = g2, Jonidan #40-49 = i4, etc. I have sorted this way for the few Makushita wrestlers listed, though this is largely overkill unless a lot more lower ranked wrestlers are added, which is unlikely.

Putting retired Kagamio here for now, so I can move him to past list when I get a minute. |- |Kagamiō
