{{Documentation subpage}}

'''{{PAGENAME}}''' stands for {{Bu|N}}umber {{Bu|T}}able {{Bu|S}}orting {{Bu|S}}caled and display numbers with [[Long and short scales|short or long scales]] in a [[Help:Sorting|sortable table]] and have them numerically sorted in alphabetic sort mode. It is applied to all numbers of a column, in cases where numeric sort mode does not work or is not desired.

=== Usage ===
{{tlx|Ntss|value|scale|long|prefix=prefix}}

Where:

* '''value''' - the significant value that will be displayed in front of the scale (required).
* '''scale''' - scale used with value, see below.
* '''long''' - if included, will use long scales, otherwise uses short scales; see below.
* '''prefix''' - String to display before the number.

==== Decimal scales ====
Using [[long and short scales]]:
* thousand, million, billion, trillion, quadrillion, quintillion, sextillion, septillion, octillion

The "long" (old British) scales differ from "billion" (10<sup>12</sup>) onwards. When using long scales, this template also accepts the following -iard scales:
* milliard, billiard, trilliard, quadrilliard

==== Bit and byte scales ====
Using standard [[SI prefix]]es:
* bit, kbit, Mbit, Gbit, Tbit, Pbit, Ebit, Zbit, Ybit
* byte or "B", kB, MB, GB, TB, PB, EB, ZB, YB

Using [[binary prefix]]es:
* kibit, Mibit, Gibit, Tibit, Pibit, Eibit, Zibit, Yibit
* kiB, MiB, GiB, TiB, PiB, EiB, ZiB, YiB

=== Examples ===

{|class="wikitable sortable"
!Template!!Result
|-
| {{tlx|Ntss|9.1}}||{{Ntss|9.1}}
|-
| {{tlx|Ntss|8.2|thousand}}||{{Ntss|8.2|thousand}}
|-
| {{tlx|Ntss|8.4|million}}||{{Ntss|8.4|million}}
|-
| {{tlx|Ntss|35|billion}}||{{Ntss|35|billion}}
|-
| {{tlx|Ntss|2|trillion}}||{{Ntss|2|trillion}}
|-
| {{tlx|Ntss|4|billion|long}}||{{Ntss|4|billion|long}}
|-
| {{tlx|Ntss|12|thousand|prefix=$}}||{{Ntss|12|thousand|prefix=$}}
|}
