Immediately after sending the above I think I realized what the problem
is.
Each of the numeric values in that first column is wrapped in <a></a>
and you're probably sorting on that. Do I need to write a parser? If so,
what might it be?
This should work:
$.tablesorter.addParser({
id: 'genericLink',
is: function(s) {
var exp = /<a[^>]*">(.*)<\/a>/.test(s.toLowerCase());
if(exp) this.type = (/<a[^>]*">(\d+)<\/a>/.test(s)) ? 'numeric' :
'text';
return exp;
},
format: function(s) {
var val = s.toLowerCase().match(/<a[^>]*">(.*)<\/a>/)[1];
// format your data for normalization
return (this.type == 'text') ? $.trim(val) :
$.tablesorter.formatFloat(val);
},
type: 'text'
});
It works for a element with text and numeric values.
