Even when using data-sort-type=number in the column header, text in front of a number in any cell breaks numerical sorting of that cell. Text after a number is not a problem if the sort order of a column is specified by using data-sort-type=number. Leading zeroes are not necessary for numerical sorting of a column.
Sorting may refer to: Help:Sortable tables, for editing tables which can be sorted by viewers; Help:Category § Sorting category pages, for documentation of how categories are sorted; Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lists § Sorting a list, for guidelines on ordering of lists

See Help:Sortable tables about rank columns and row numbers. See also: Commons:Convert tables and charts to wiki code or image files.
Title of list: example 1, example 2, example 3 This style requires less space on the page, and is preferred if there are only a few entries in the list, it can be read easily, and a direct edit point is not required. The list items should start with a lowercase letter unless they are proper nouns. See also WP:HLIST.
