Hey all, Just thought I'd give back to the community and offer up a simple addition to the great tablesorter plugin by Christian Bach (http:// motherrussia.polyester.se).
I needed a simple sorter based on filesize, and it didn't quite work with the generic sorter. Thanks to the great structure of his code, it was a simple task.. easy as: <code> $.tableSorter.parsers.filesize = { id: 'filesize', is: function(s) { return s.match( new RegExp( /[0-9]+(\.[0-9]+)?\ (KB|B|GB|MB| TB)/ ) ); }, format: function(s) { var suf = s.match( new RegExp( /(KB|B|GB|MB|TB)$/ ) )[1]; var num = parseFloat( s.match( new RegExp( /^[0-9]+(\. [0-9]+)?/ ) )[0] ); switch( suf ) { case 'B': return num; case 'KB': return num * 1024; case 'MB': return num * 1024 * 1024; case 'GB': return num * 1024 * 1024 * 1024; case 'TB': return num * 1024 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024; } }, sorter: $.tableSorter.sorters.numeric }; /* dont forget to add it to the collection */ $.tableSorter.analyzer.add($.tableSorter.parsers.filesize); </code>
