sorttable_tables.js is not written in a way that easily accommodates
different comparators. It uses a different approach: it generates a
sortable value (such as a number, a lowercase string, a date) out of
the text, which is then sorted traditionally. You'd have to rewrite a
big chunk of it if you can't represent the order you want by such a
transformation.
The "easiest" way to implement a transformation based approach would
be to wrap the values with some wrapper object, and register a
comparator that uses your sort metric for those wrapper objects.
There's a registerComparator example in the ajax experience slides:
