On December 7, 1941, before the news of the bombing of Pearl Harbor was made public, a public address message for Max Annenberg's chauffeur to report, has followed the message for Col. William J. Donovan to call his office immediately, with the third and final message being for military personnel to report to their bases.{{Citation|title=Polo Grounds: Pearl Harbor Attack News During NFL Game, with Announcer Arthur Daley Interview {{!}} 1941|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bj8V0V1lBnw|language=en|access-date=7 December 2021|quote=New York Giants vs. Brooklyn Dodgers (NFL) football game: Arthur Daley says second announcement was for Max Annenberg's chauffeur to report.

Only some of the many sorting algorithms currently developed are known as stable. The quality that makes these algorithms stable is that when sorting on a row in a table, if the value in the column chosen to be the sort "key" is identical to another row's value in that same "key" column, the algorithm will leave the relative order of those rows unchanged. The notable sorting algorithm, Quicksort, is usually implemented lacking stability.

Wikipedia supports sortable tables in desktop browsers, including stable sorting by using the Shift key while clicking on the second column to be sorted. Sadly, as of February 2020, sortable Wikipedia tables only work with desktop browsers. Even mobile browsers set to "View Desktop Site/Desktop Page" mode fail to work with Javascript code which provides Wikipedia's sortable columns. Originally, mobile browsers had extremely limited hardware resources, making a full-feature browser impossible.{{Cite web|url=https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T49858|title=?

As mobile devices grew in power, and browser capabilities continued to grow, Wikipedia's developers and users returned to the problem, keeping in consideration extremely limited mobile devices still in widespread use around the world.{{Cite web|url=https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T111565|title=?

The browser currently displaying this page is capable of sorting tables, the preceding icon buttons should be on each column header. If not, interactive sorting for will not work, so "No soup for you!". If the following tables show no icons in the column headers, your browser is cannot performing sorting at this time.

The following example has fifteen cities in seven different states.

Each state is abbreviated using the 2-letter codes used by the United States Postal Service.

After suffering from duplicate city names within the U.S., the Post Office made an effort to keep new duplicate names from occurring:

{{Quote|text=To help address this problem, in the 1880s the instructions on selecting new Post Office names went [...]:
Select a short name for the proposed office, which, when written, will not resemble the name of any other post office in the United States.|author=|title=What's in a (Post Office) Name? : From Aaronsburg, Pennsylvania, to Zwolle, Louisiana |source={{Cite web|url=https://about.usps.com/who-we-are/postal-history/post-office-names.pdf|title=Postal History {{!}} Post Offices and Facilities|website=about.usps.com|via=https://about.usps.com/who-we-are/postal-history/|url-status=live|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2020-02-29}}}}

This was found to be too restrictive, and the Post Office removed the word United.:

{{Quote|text=In the 1890s this was relaxed:
Select a short name for the proposed office, which, when written, will not resemble the name of any other post office in the State.|author=|title=What's in a (Post Office) Name? : From Aaronsburg, Pennsylvania, to Zwolle, Louisiana|source=}}

The Postal zone introduced in 1943 helped route mail within large U.S. cities, and 1963's introduction of the ZIP Code helped improved delivery of mail to cities with the same name by first directing the mail to the correct region of the country. Standardization of the two—letter code for each state, territory and the capital district also made mail sorting easier.{{Cite web|url=https://about.usps.com/who-we-are/postal-history/state-abbreviations.htm|title=State Abbreviations - Who We Are - USPS|website=about.usps.com|access-date=2020-02-29|quote=To allow space for the ZIP Code in the last line of an address, state names needed to be abbreviated.

Two stable sorts are performed on the randomly ordered, original table.

Note that only the second sort is required to be stable to get our desired result of a list which is

alphabetical first by two—letter State code, then for each

City within the alphabetically ordered State.

While not possible on most mobile browsers, sorting can be achieve through these workarounds:

1. Obtain a browser which wil support a Desktop site and the Javascript needed:
2. *Android browser Kiwi {{Cite web|url=https://kiwibrowser.com/features/|title=Features|website=Kiwi Browser|language=en-US|access-date=2020-02-29}}
3. Use a keyboard which supports a TAB key:
4. * Bluetooth keyboard
5. * USB keyboard via a USB On-The-Go cable
6. * Virtual board which supports the TAB key , setting the keyboard visible, even when not on an input field
7. Load the sortable page and verify that the column's sorting triangles are on the column titles
8. Sort the selected primary column via:
9. *Clicking on the column header to toggle trough ascending or descending sorting
10. *Pressing TAB key on the keyboard, to move to the column, then pressing the Enter key.
11. Press the TAB key or Shift and TAB key to position at the second sorting column and press Shift and Enter together.
12. Now go and Square the Circle.
13. *

Note that only the second sort is required to be stable to get our

desired result, as once the rows are ordered by State, the cities can be in

any order for the current State. The second sort is 'required to be stable to keep the states in order, while alphabetizing the cities within the state.

In this case, when we sort by alphabetically by City, we almost have the list

we want. The problem is that there are many rows with the city of Rockford. These cities are properly between

{{font color|green|New York}}, {{font color|green|NY}}

and

{{font color|brown|Syracuse}}, {{font color|brown|NY}}, but the

States for the cities of Rockford remain in their original, non-alphabetic

order. With a second stable sort, we can sort our file, leaving all the

unique cities in their place and taking the cities with equal names, that is

the cities of Rockford, and putting them in alphabetic order by the

codes of each one's two—letter State code.

To sort by the above tables, click on the triangle. Then hold the Shift key and click on the triangle to sort by another column, while keeping the order for the first column when values of the second column are equal.

As per the Tutorial VisualEditor, a reference https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:VisualEditor/User_guide/Citations-Full#Add_a_new_reference can be generated from an ISBN.

The resulting cite may include both an oclc parameter and a url pre-filled with a Worldcat OCLC query.

User:Citation bot will later remove the url as a duplicate.

This automatic insert of the url and later bot based removal seems counterproductive. Actually, it seems to be a automation-driven WP:EDITWAR.

A user may use Wikipedia:VisualEditor and an ISBN to automatic generate a filled Template:cite book.

Using VisualEditor, with example ISBN 978-0-06-246439-2 as the desired source, selecting Cite, Add a citation, Automatic, filling in the ISBN as 978-0-06-246439-2, clicking Generate, VisualEditor generates this Cite:

{{Cite book|last=Hampton, Dan,|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/957504448|title=The flight : Charles Lindbergh's daring and immortal 1927 Transatlantic crossing|isbn=978-0-06-246439-2|edition=First edition|location=New York, NY|oclc=957504448}}

The rendered citation looks like this:

{{Cite book|last=Hampton, Dan,|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/957504448|title=The flight : Charles Lindbergh's daring and immortal 1927 Transatlantic crossing|isbn=978-0-06-246439-2|edition=First edition|location=New York, NY|oclc=957504448}}

When User:Citation_bot runs, it removes the url as a duplicate, resulting in this:

{{Cite book|last=Hampton, Dan,|title=The flight : Charles Lindbergh's daring and immortal 1927 Transatlantic crossing|isbn=978-0-06-246439-2|edition=First edition|location=New York, NY|oclc=957504448}}

We see this in this difference in the automatically generated, then manually edited, reformatted and expanded cite:

• American Flyers Flight 280 {{cquote|installed aboard Flight 280/D. The recorder assembly was recovered intact at the accident scene.

  An examination of the recorder assembly revealed that the engaging tangs of the pawl assembly were loose in the recorder housing. The pawl assembly disclosed a foreign substance determined to be from a white paperback pressure sensitive tape. Because the recorder foil drive system is dependent upon proper installation of the pawl the absence of the two engaging tangs disables the drive system. Examination of the recorder foil disclosed that it had only advanced a minute amount and was not advancing prior to or at the time of impact. Approximately 3/4 roll of unused foil remained on the supply spool at the time of removal. No readout of the altitude, indicated airspeed, vertical acceleration, or magnetic heading, during the last flight could be made.

  The operating procedure for the flight recorder required it to operate continuously from the instant the airplane commenced the takeoff roll until it had completed the landing roll. The AFAX procedures also required the flight engineer to check the operation of the recorder on each leg by listening to the test tone signal through the interphone system.}}{{cite web|url=http://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=19660422-0 |title=ASN Aircraft accident Lockheed L-188C Electra N183H Ardmore Municipal Airport, OK (ADM) |publisher=Aviation-safety.net |date=1966-04-22 |accessdate=2012-12-22}}
