NOTE!

Set the emptyTo selector below:
- top - sort empty table cells to the top.
- bottom - sort empty table cells to the bottom.
- none or zero
  - Sort empty table cells as if the cell has the value equal to zero
  - None/zero has a value less than A through Z (in javascript, 0 < 'A' && 0 < 'Z'); so in an alphabetical column, empty cells will sort at the top in an ascending sort & at the bottom in a descending sort.
  - In numerical columns, empty cells will sort as if their value was zero.
Individual columns can be modified by adding the following (they all do the same thing), set in order of priority:
- jQuery data data-empty="top".
- metadata class="{ empty: 'top'}". This requires the metadata plugin.
- headers option headers : { 0 : { empty : 'top' } }.
- header class name class="empty-top".
- Overall emptyTo option.
emptyToBottom option was added in v2.1.11, then replaced by the emptyTo option in v2.1.16.

Demo

Set emptyTo option:

*Account #	First Name	Last Name	Age	Total	Discount	Diff
A43	Peter	Parker	28		20.3%	+3
A255		Hood		19.99	25.1%	-7
	Clark		18	15.89	44.2%	-15
A1	Bruce	Almighty	45	153.19		+19
A102	Bruce	Evans	56	153.19	23%
A109	Larry	Stevens	56	153.19	23%	0
A99	John	Smithy	56	156	22%
A119	Mike	Rowe	55	-53.99	13%	0

* Note The "Account #" column has the "empty-top" class name set which over-rides the emptyTo option (see the order of priority note above).
