Could you please add numerical ordering by title to [[inline|plugins/inline]]
plugin? Now I can do only alphabetical order by title, but sometime it's not enough.
+> Implemented, see [[natural_sorting]] [[!tag done]] --[[Joey]]

BTW, it seems that ordering by title is rather ordering by filename of page.
For me "title" means title of page I can set using `title` parameter
of [[meta|plugins/meta]] plugin :)
Do you have any idea how to workaround that issue? --[[Paweł|ptecza]]

+Below is my simple patch. Feel free to use it or comment!
+
+I have also 2 considerations for inline sorting:
+
+1. Maybe changing name of `sort` parameter to `sortby` or `sortkey` will
+ be good idea?
+
+ > No, that would break existing wikis. --[[Joey]]
+ >> It's no problem. You just have `ikiwiki-transition` utility :D --[[Paweł|ptecza]]
+
+1. Maybe you should use `title` sort key for title from meta plugin and `name`,
+ `filename`, `page` or `pagename` for page names? In the future you can also
+ sort by meta author, license or another key.
