jquery TableSorter stops working if I add 2014-03-31 kind of date string in title filed

jquery TableSorter stops working if I add 2014-03-31 kind of date string in Name Column, which is non-date column? Will be grateful for any guidance.

Thanks.

Solution

  • Tablesorter attempts to detect the type of data contained in a column.

    When the first cell in the column contains 2014-03-31 Philip Aaron Wong, it appears to contain numbers, so the parser gets set to digit.

    To fix this, set the class name of the header cell to "sorter-text" (demo):

    <th class="sorter-text">First Name</th>

    In the future, try the debug option, it will report what parsers are being set.
