tablesorter

Using a Custom Sort Script

Flexible client-side table sorting

NOTE!

• Modified the textSorter option to allow setting the sorter per column v2.12:
  • *NOTE* The textSorter function parameters have changed! It is now function(a, b, direction, column, table) (previously function(a, b, table, column)).
  • The "Icelandic Alphabet" column is using the Sugar library to sort - please note that at the time of this writing, there is an issue with it not sorting properly (ref) - you can tell when it starts working properly when you sort the Icelandic Alphabet column and the numeric column numbers are sequential (see row #37).
  • The "Plain Text Sort" column is using a basic alphabetical sort (with localeCompare if set). Sort that column, then the last column to see how it differs from an alphanumeric sort.
  • The sorting of empty cells still occurs regardless of the custom textSorter setting.
• One custom sort used here is from the original tablesorter plugin v2.0.3. Sort the first "Plain Text Sort" column to see how it sorts alphanumeric data.
• This option is not part of the original plugin (v2.2).
