I'm trying to sort the 5th column on page load without clicking anything. I can sort the table by clicking the headers but adding this option isn't working for me. I have v2.23.2.
The column I want to sort has numbers, and I want the largest number to be at the top, so descending sort.
$("#table").tablesorter({
sortInitialOrder: "desc",
sortList: [4,0]
});
Right now, it is sorting with ascension on page load, but that's the default setting and I don't know why it's not working.
Thanks in advance Mottie :$
sortList: [4,1]
A sort value of 0 specifies ascending. You want 1 for descending.
An array of instructions for per-column sorting and direction in the format: [[columnIndex, sortDirection], ... ] where columnIndex is a zero-based index for your columns left-to-right and sortDirection is 0 for Ascending and 1 for Descending. A valid argument that sorts ascending first by column 1 and then column 2 looks like: [[0,0],[1,0]]
