tablesorter 2.0 incorrectly parsing columns as text instead of digits


Hi all,
I have been testing the fantastic jquery.tablesorter with a view to
using it to improve data display and digestion. The one issue I have
run in to is when a column in a table starts with a 0 (zero). It seems
to identify the column as text rather than digit and therefore uses
the wrong parser on it.
If there is a zero value in the column but its not the first in the
list it works fine. I have also tested 00 and 0.0 to see if it ever
handles these differently. It handles them all as text if they are the
first value in the column.
Can anyone assist in replicating then fixing the bug? I have tested it
with source data from the tablesorter website to confirm it's not my
data causing the issue.
Many thanks in advance,
Dan
