A trope page -- possibly an old and well-established one dating back to the Elder Days of The Other Tropes Wiki, possibly a brand-new one that was created without a page template -- certainly has a lot of examples, but they're in no particular order and are lacking media categories.[1] This makes it hard to read, and hard to check to see if the example you want to add is already there or not.

Someone needs to take the time to reorganize the examples on this page and put them in categories, and possibly higher-level divisions like "Played Straight" and "Subversions", depending on the trope. Alphabetizing examples within the categories is counterproductive, though, since we add new examples to the end of the relevant section as a matter of style.

Applies only to works lists on trope and creator pages -- works and creators have trope lists that are (or should be, at least) in alphabetical order (discounting leading articles) by trope name.

To add a page to this list, put the {{Examples Need Sorting}} tag on the page, immediately below the {{trope}} header tag.

See All The Tropes:Creating a Page by Hand#Groups for Examples for the list of section headers.
