Sort surname search by Wiki ID [closed]

Question

People keep asking for the ability to search by Wiki ID, which never happens.  A related search function that would be very helpful would be sorting the surname search function by Wiki ID. It seems to be sortable every other way.

Answer 1

You already can.  Use WikiTree+ (as opposed to WikiTree X):

http://wikitree.sdms.si/default.htm

What is WT+ and where do you find it?

---

Um...via the link I gave you about an inch above your reply?

---

It says the link has an error

---

Opens perfectly fine for me.

---

Try looking at this, it should answer your questions:

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:WikiTree_Plus

---

I often get an error with that link because of the *.si domain from my company network. Other ISP's may also be blocking that domain.

---

Interesting, thanks.

Does everyone but me know about this?

---

WikiTree Plus is what drives the Suggestions Report for the Data Doctors.

---

I error out on WikiTree+ at work, but it works fine for me at home.

Answer 2

Go to...Find/Search and done to item 3 near the bottom on the right is a search function by Wikitree ID.

What I'm looking for is a list of all profiles with a given surname, sorted by Wiki ID #, eg

Hacker-1 Me

Hacker-2 Sister

Hacker-3 Brother

Hacker-4 Total Stranger

etc

Lois, if you order by profile creation date, you'll get the same order as WikiTree_ID would give you.  The only problem is that I don't know if that's one of the options we have.

---

I can't see such an option

Answer 3

What are you trying to search for?  If you know the Wikitree ID, just change the URL to include it? 

url for all profiles is https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/ 

with the wikitree ID added at the end, with no spaces 

Answer 4

And this has now happened.  I am glad.
