Template:HiddenNote/doc

Usually, footnotes appear in the Notes section in the order they appear in the text. HiddenNote is a template that allows you to create notes in an order that doesn't display, and by using the name parameter of notes later on you may display them in a different order while preserving a fixed order in the Notes section, that of the HiddenNote template.

Example:

{{HiddenNote
|name1=test
|note1=This test note appears in the footnotes first.
|name2=test2
|note2=This test note appears in the footnotes second.
}}

This text will have the second note{{Note|name=test2}} followed by the first.{{Note|name=test}}

<ref name="test" group="nb">This test note appears in the footnotes first.</ref> <ref name="test2" group="nb">This test note appears in the footnotes second.</ref>

This text will have the second note<ref name="test2" group="nb"></ref> followed by the first.<ref name="test" group="nb"></ref>
