Hello Jake,

I have used the following parser but the column doesn't sort by default. Please assist.

$(document).ready(function() {

$("#main_gvResource").tablesorter.addParser({

    // set a unique id

    id: 'lblIDSort',

    is: function(s) {       

        return false;

    },

    format: function(s) {       

        return s.replace('$','').replace(/-/g,'');                 

    },

     type: 'numeric'

});

$(function() {

    $("#main_gvResource").tablesorter({

       widgets: ['zebra'],

        headers: {

            1: {//zero-based column index

                sorter:'gdMobileID'

            }

        }

    });

});

  });

1. format: function (s) { return +s.split("-").map(function(s) { return ('0000'+s).slice(-4);}).join(".") },

Hello Jake,

I couldn't use Gridview in this sample since I can't attach code-behind that binds data. I have used "table" instead. I wasn't sure how to embded Null Values. All the null values should show first and then ASC numberic.

Here is the sample. I'm still a newbie. Please bear with my mistakes in the code.

Hello Plunker!

Am I missing something in here?

Thanks Jake. That works like a charm in the sample. I have embeded this in my GridView and I don't see the similar results.
1) Does this snippet handle null values?
2) What does the unique ID "mobileID" stand for? What measures do I need to take if I'm using this snippet for a GridView. I'm sure the column I'm sorting is a index:1. I have just tried and it doesn't sort on a gridview column.

Thank you for your time.

Hi, I'm using SQL data binding in the aspx.vb and the html for the column looks like:

<asp:GridView ID="gvResource" runat="server"
AutoGenerateColumns="False"   DataKeyNames="EmployeeID" DataSourceID="ObjectDataSource1">

    <Columns>

<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="ID" ItemStyle-Width="50px">
                    <ItemTemplate>
                        <asp:Literal ID="litID" runat="server" Text='<%#Eval("ID")%>' />
                    </ItemTemplate>
                </asp:TemplateField>

<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Mobile ID" ItemStyle-Width="100px">
                    <ItemTemplate>
                        <asp:Literal ID="litMobileID" runat="server" Text='<%#Eval("Mobile ID")%>' />
                    </ItemTemplate>
                </asp:TemplateField>

  </Columns>

</asp:GridView>
