Yes your code is pretty cool and definitely sorts the table by a specific column. what I was actually talking about was to sort a table that might or might not have a header / might not even be a table (a list for example) on a sub element text node value. and you might not want ot give the user the ability to resort.
at work I had a "list" that had to be sorted but I was not allow to change the way that the content was generated. each row of the list was in a div statement with the class row and the row contained two divs' one hidden with a hidden input element and the second holding a span with a link in it. thus on page load I wanted to call the sort function once.
