Assuming a structure like:

1. <table>
2.       <thead>
3.             <tr>
4.                   <th>Sample</th>
5.             </tr>
6.       </thead>
7.       <tbody>
8.             <tr>
9.                   <td>
10.                         <ul>
11.                               <li>25
12.                                     <ul>
    
13.                                           <li>Some Name</li>
14.                                     </ul>
15.                               </li>
    
16.                         </ul>
17.                   </td>
18.             </tr>
19.       </tbody>
20. </table>

How can I use textExtraction to sort based on whatever number is in that first LI element?

I have tried various things, but just can't seem to get it.

//Various forms of the below... trying to find the right path to the element.
textExtractionCustom: { 0: function(o) { return $('li','ul.serversgs',o).html(); } }
textExtraction: { 0: function(o) { return $('li','ul.serversgs',o).html(); } }

// This from within my own function called by whatever column I'm sorting by (0 above).
return node.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].innerHTML;

And others.. what am I missing? Am I wrong and I cannot do this, even though the sample above is directly from the Tablesorter site as an example of bypassing HTML markup inside the TDs?

Thanks
