Description

Indonesian language is one of the language that uses dot to separate thousands and commas to separate decimals (opposite to US), and it didn't reflect well on sorting and #expr parserfunction. I've only tested it on 1.16, but I think I saw the same bug on 1.17. Not sure about 1.18 have been resolved or not. Will post examples as soon as I can find one.

Garbage in, garbage out. Please don't feed formatted numbers to #expr.

Please take a look at Indonesian Wiktionary's Main Page for example

http://id.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Halaman_Utama&action=edit

In order to get the total number of Indonesian words & phrases, I have to add the two categories. To make it work, I have to multiply the {{PAGESINCATEGORY}} by 1000

[[:Kategori:Kata bahasa Indonesia|Indonesia]] ({{#expr:{{PAGESINCATEGORY:Kata bahasa Indonesia}}*1000+{{PAGESINCATEGORY:Frasa bahasa Indonesia}}}}) -

For the sorting error, it seems like it has been fixed on 1.18 (?)

Example here:

Use {{PAGESINCAT:Frasa bahasa Indonesia|R}} instead.
