" The tr shouldn't be showing up again at all when i sort it, but it
is. "
I'm not sure what you mean by "shouldn't", but the tablesorter plugin
is storing all the rows and data on the client and has to be told that
the data was refreshed..... you doing a tr.remove() removes it from
the table, but it doesn't update the tablesorter's data store
This example should be of help
http://tablesorter.com/docs/example-ajax.htmlexcept that instead of "append"-ing data/rows, you run that code after
removing
