Regarding your [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2018_United_States_Senate_elections&action=history edit here], I suggest that we not sort by installment date, because that information is not viewable to the reader, so the reader might wonder why the sorting is acting that way. What do you think? —[[User talk:GoldRingChip|GoldRingChip]] 13:15, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
:{{Ping|GoldRingChip}} Maintaining the default (allowing the column to be sorted without specifying a <code>sort-value</code>) isn't correct as, for instance, in 2010, Kirk (MA) was appointed to replace Ted Kennedy, months after Gillibrand (NY), who was appointed to replace Hillary Clinton, but since the NY special election was in Nov 2010, after MA (Jan 2010), the [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2010_United_States_Senate_elections&oldid=990236463#Special_elections_during_the_111th_Congress default sort ascend behavior], upon first opening the table, is to place New York second-to-last behind West Virginia. <span style="color: #8B0000">Caradhras</span>Aiguo (<small>[[User talk:CaradhrasAiguo|leave language]]</small>) 15:44, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
:: I see what you mean. While it's true that Kirk's service began before Gillibrand's, I don't think it's necessary in this column of this table to differentiate between them, as this is merely a table of the subsequent elections. BUT even if we want to maintain it like that, my point stands that a reader won't understand why the sort is sorting Burris first and Goodwin last by Electoral History since the cell only reads, "2009 (Appointed)" for all of them. And I think it would be compounding the problem if the full dates were added — "September 24, 2009 (Appointed)." This column is most minor column in the table. Furthermore, you may find that going back before 1913 and even earlier in the early 19th century, dates became more scattered and/or indeterminate. That's why this column has to be left as simple. —[[User talk:GoldRingChip|GoldRingChip]] 17:32, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

== Sorting senate races ==
 
As you go back in time to earlier U.S. senate races, you'll find it will get to get harder to sort the races by their intent (ran/unknown/retired/resigned/died) and their result (gain/hold/re-elected). Earlier races are more complicated: there are multiple races for the same seat, vacancies left unfilled, post-term-beginning appointments made, etc. Too many times an editor would have to make a judgement call as to which would come first and a reader couldn't understand why it was sorted that way. I used to sort them all by their intent & result until I found it too difficult. So I began changing them to alphabetical. It's nice to have the "actively changed" (i.e. gain) seats near the middle, but it becomes a confusing muddle eventually. That's why I recommend just using an alphabetical sort, leaving the A-states on the outside and progressing to the W-states in the middle. What do you think? —[[User talk:GoldRingChip|GoldRingChip]] 13:12, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
:I opted for the Pickups to be numerically higher within the caucus since in wave elections such as 1946 or 1948, it is only of the major parties that is having multiple pickups, so comparing the Before and After of a caucus would make it clear what the extent of the gains, e.g. GOP seats 42&ndash;53 are all newly GOP, and seats 1&ndash;41 remain the same as before. <span style="color: #8B0000">Caradhras</span>Aiguo (<small>[[User talk:CaradhrasAiguo|leave language]]</small>) 14:42, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
:: Yes, I figured that's what you were doing. That's what I had done in earlier edits, but I later regretted that choice and shifted to alphabetical states within a caucus for the reasons stated above. The standard I'm trying to apply is clarity for the readers and a reasonable consistency. —[[User talk:GoldRingChip|GoldRingChip]] 16:08, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
 
:As to the Special election held concurrently for the same seat as the Regularly-scheduled one, under this scheme (lower-numbered seats are retentions), it seems only once in a blue moon does the opposing party (the non-incumbent / one having not held the seat as of the election) only win one but not both of the concurrently-held contests. If there is no party change from Oct (before the election) to the beginning of the new Congress in Jan or Mar, it is fair to classify it as a "Hold" or "Elected"? <span style="color: #8B0000">Caradhras</span>Aiguo (<small>[[User talk:CaradhrasAiguo|leave language]]</small>) 14:42, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
:: This, as you've noticed, is tricky. Let's start with [[1946 United States Senate elections|1946 as an example]]:
::* In California, a Republican appointee was elected both to the special and the regular. '''Elected'''.<tt><nowiki>{{Efn|Appointee elected}}</nowiki></tt>
::* In Connecticut, a Republican appointee retired and was replaced by a Republican in both to the special and the regular. '''Hold'''.
::* In Ohio, a Democratic appointee retired and was replaced by a Republican in the special and a different Republican in the regular. '''Gain.'''
:: Now let's look at [[1912 and 1913 United States Senate elections|1912 and 1913]]:
::* In Maine, the Democratic interim appointee was elected in the 1912 special, but lost to the Republican in the 1913 regular. '''Very complicated.''' For this one, I put a cute little box around it in the Results grid.
:: I think these solutions work well. They're reasonably consistent, a reader can mostly understand them, and an {{tl|efn}} note can be added if/when needed. —[[User talk:GoldRingChip|GoldRingChip]] 16:08, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

:::I would be willing for an RfC (talk of [[WP:POLITICS/US]]) to be held on the "Result of the elections" Composition tables.
