Try using something similar to the following:
// TableSorter
$('.reportTable').tableSorter({
sortColumn: 'date', // Integer or String of
the name of the column to
sort by.
sortDir: 2, // Change the
default sort direction to 2
(descending)
sortClassAsc: 'headerSortUp', // Class name for ascending
sorting action
to header
sortClassDesc: 'headerSortDown', // Class name for descending sorting
action to header
headerClass: 'header', // Class name for headers
(th's)
stripingRowClass: ['even','odd'], // Class names for striping
supplyed as
a array.
stripeRowsOnStartUp: true, // Strip rows on tableSorter
init.
});
Notice the sortColumn and sortDir values. sortColumn takes a value based on
the text between a <th> and </th>. sortDir is defaulted to 0, and is used in
a trinary operator to determine the default sort direction based on 'dir %
2', which basically says take the number 'dir' divide it by 2 and if 1,
'true' is the remainder then sort ascending, otherwise sort descending.
Setting it to 2 reseults in a remainder of 0, 'false' so the default sort
direction is now descending.
I hope this helps.
