Tablesorter extension

This is the discussion topic for the (jQuery) Tablesorter extension.

Visit http://extensions.pivotx.net/entry/36/tablesorter for download and more info.

May I politely suggest that our excellent developers always add some information for the humble user?
What does this extension do? Does it sort html-tables or database tables? And why should we want to use it?

[hansfn]

Well, I should have turned "jQuery Tablesorte" into a link in the post above - I did in the extension documentation, but is it too much to expect our excellent users to be able to use Google

PS! For those that won't use the link above, the short story is: "tablesorter is a jQuery plugin for turning a standard HTML table with THEAD and TBODY tags into a sortable table without page refreshes."

Of course this user isn't too lazy to use Google if necessary, but when it already looks complicated, I expect google only to return more complicated stuff.
As you know I'm not a programmer, so I have an interest in making PivotX as accessable to the common user as it can be. Otherwise it remains a cms for script-savvy people.
So I hope you don't mind me asking for some clarification from time to time.

does someone knows what I am doing wrong here

<table class="table table-hover" [[ jquery_tablesorter , 'sortList: [ [4,0] ]' ]]>

or

<table class="table table-hover" [[ jquery_tablesorter , sortList='[[4,0]]' ]]>

table sorter is working but, I would like to presort the list on column 4

but this is not working and I tried a lot!

can some have a look at the above

thanks!

It's ages since I wrote this extension, but reading the included documentation (which is accessible from the extension list in your PivotX), I think the right syntax is:

Code: Select all

<table class="table table-hover" [[ jquery_tablesorter options='sortList: [ [3,0] ]' ]]>

Thanks so much Hans!

Have a nice day!
