[jQuery] TableSorter issues: special characters, mixed data
ATTN: Christian or anyone else familiar :)
I'm trying to use TableSorter for a few large batches
of data, but am getting JS errors depending on what
content is in the columns.
For example:
-Digit-only data works, but MIXED data (ex: some
fields are empty, and some have decimal values) fails.
-Special characters break the sorting. For example, I
have a list of titles and some titles start with
special characters (ex: .hack//SIGN, ~To Heart~). This
also breaks.
I suspect these are breaking because of something to
do with the generic sorting function:
generic: function(a,b) { return ((a[1] < b[1]) ? -1 :
((a[1] > b[1]) ? 1 : 0)); }
I usually use MYSQL's sorting mechanisms to filter
queries (var1 < var2) and this method works with
special characters and such, so I'm not sure what the
best way to modify the js file would be (for a
temporary solution, until this is "fixed" in a
subsequent release).
Do you know of the reason why these cases are
breaking, and/or what a good workaround would be?
thanks,
