NOTE!
- In tablesorter v2.18.1, you can now target a column by the class name of an element inside of a header; note that the span has the targeted class name in the first name column.
- In tablesorter v2.0.5 and older, only the metadata and headers options methods were available.
- In versions 2.3+, columns can be disabled using any of the following methods (they all do the same thing), in order of priority:
- jQuery data
data-sorter="false"(see the Javascript block below on how to set it directly). - metadata
class="{ sorter: false }". This requires the metadata plugin. - headers option
headers : { 0 : { sorter: false } }. - header class name
class="sorter-false".
- jQuery data
