Since sortable tables sort values {{w\|Lexicographic order\|lexicographically}}, regular numbers are sorted incorrectly. To get around this limitation the template will initialize the hidden counter to 10,000. The general syntax to reset the counter is:
	:<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:hresetcount\|hresetcount]] \| ''countername''}}</code>		:<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:hresetcount\|hresetcount]] \| ''countername''}}</code>
	This ensures that the table is sorted correctly (in proper numerical order). You may also reset up to '''6''' counters with the {{tl\|hresetcount}} template.
