+
+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.
+
+ > There are many places in ikiwiki that do not use meta title info and
+ > could. I'd prefer to deal with that issue as a whole, not here,

+
+ * I've only tested this in `inline`, not the other places I changed the sort order.
