[jQuery] need help with tableSorter plugin - way to pass names rather than # to header?


Hello
I made an earlier post regarding this as well but now i know what the
problem is
So i have a table like this
http://i32.tinypic.com/287oolg.jpg
the code for the table i slike this
<thead>
<tr>
<th rowspan="3">1</th>
<th rowspan="3">2</th>
<th colspan="2">3</th>
<th colspan="7">4</th>
<th colspan="4">5 members</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<th rowspan="2">3a</th>
<th rowspan="2">3b</th>
<th rowspan="2">4a</th>
<th colspan="2">4b</th>
<th colspan="4">4c</th>
<th rowspan="2">5a</th>
<th rowspan="2">5b</th>
<th rowspan="2">5c</th>
<th rowspan="2">5d</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>4ba</th>
<th>4bb</th>
<th>4ca</th>
<th>4cb</th>
<th>4cc</th>
<th>4cd</th>
</tr>
</thead>
as you can see 4ba - 4cd are AFTER 5a - 5d in my html code. When i
fill data for this table via <td> tags i dont have to worry about what
comes first or not i am just putting the data and it comes under the
column i want it to come. However, the jquery TableSorter plugin,
when sorting is done on 5a is taking data for 4ba!!! since 4ba's data
comes BEFORE 5a's when I fill the data for this column.
I can provide the data for the table as well if this is misleading.
Please, would appreciate some help on this!
