Use

This template hides a string of text. If the contents of a cell of a sortable table are prefixed with a hidden string, the cell will sort using the hidden string.

The syntax for this template is:

{{hid|var1}}

where var1 is a string of text.

The use of this template is illustrated by the following sortable table:
