I read about the jQuery Tablesorter Plugin a while back. It seemed cool enough.
tablesorter is a jQuery plugin for turning a standard HTML table with THEAD and TBODY tags into a sortable table without page refreshes. tablesorter can successfully parse and sort many types of data including linked data in a cell.
I didn’t bother to try it out, though. I guess I didn’t really believe that it could work so easily.
Here I am months later, in need of some table sorting. So I went ahead and tried it. And it JUST WORKED. As advertised. I did not have to jump through any configuration hoops. Cross-browser? No problem. Developers, this plugin will save you time. Props to Christian Bach who created this plugin.
