It has many useful features including :
- Multi-column sorting.
- Disable sorting from particular column(s).
- Sort multiple columns simultaneously.
- Cross-browser support

GENERALLY works well for STATIC tables
by Dennis Bareis·2 years ago
Doesn’t work for dynamically updated tables (using Javascript). Will duplicate rows.
It also has no way to keep certain rows (like a total at the end old the table) from being sorted.
There is zero support if it doesn’t work for you, I have a table column that won’t sort at all, who knows why?
