Wikidata:Requests for comment/How to stop WDQ from jumbling up the results
Jump to navigation

I have a lsit of 400+ species names (liverworts), in Latin, and I'm using WD Query Service to generate their item codes. I need to keep them in order. see here
#Look up q-codes based on English label
SELECT ?lab ?item WHERE {
?item rdfs:label ?lab .
MINUS {?item wdt:P31 wd:Q4167836 } . # no category items
VALUES ?lab {"Anthoceros punctatus"@en
"Anthoceros agrestis"@en
"Phaeoceros laevis"@en
"Phaeoceros carolinianus"@en
"Haplomitrium hookeri"@en
} .
}
However, the results are in a different order to the input. There's nothing on Wikidata:SPARQL query service/Wikidata Query Help/Result Views. Keeping the results in the same order, or alphabetized would be good. Any help please? Llywelyn2000 (talk) 18:29, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
