Tablesorter and automatic sorter digit?

I have a lot of table using tablesorter on my website and I'm looking for a way to sort "sorter: 'digit' a column that have a specific classname : "class="note".

I know of to do this with a header : 

$(".tablesorter").tablesorter({ 
headers: {
     0: { sorter: 'digit' } // column number, type
 }  });

But is there a generic way to do that is the html like this :

<th class="{sorter: 'digit'}">Note</th>

or with the classname <th class="note">Note</th> somewhere in the javascript like this

$(".tablesorter .note").tablesorter() ...

?

Because my column "note" is sometime the third column, sometime the fifth etc.

I ask this because without the "digit" order specified, tablesorter does not know how to sort numbers ... Here is un jsfiddle to show what I mean : http://jsfiddle.net/2cmuy39L/

Thank you.

Solution

  • If you are using my fork of tablesorter, you can accomplish this at least two different ways:

    1. Add a sorter-digit class name to the headers

      <th class="note sorter-digit">Note</th>

    2. use a Class name in the headers option (added in v2.17.0) - here is a demo:

      headers : {
  '.note' : { sorter: 'digit' }
}
