Question

Example of failure:
http://progamonth.com/files/testfile.html

Desired Behavior:
Ideally, any headers with a colspan shouldn’t affect sorting. Right now, they receive sorting buttons, and even if I specify headers: {index: {sorter: false}} for each of the colspan headers, they still affect sorting. When I click the headers with no rowspan or colspan (1.1.2 etc), they seem to be causing sorting to occur 4 columns to the right!

Example of this working, that I cannot reproduce:
http://lovepeacenukes.com/tablesorter/2.0/docs/

This page seems to show this behavior working, but I just can’t reproduce this. The example for rowspan doesn’t even manually turn those headers off, so what’s going on?! I do see that the colspan headers in the example have no header class, but that seems to be being applied by the tablesorter plugin.

Does anyone know what’s going on?

Answer 1

The feature was disabled as it says here:

I found another way to have the same effect, inside the tablesorter js around row 298 there this rule of code:

$tableHeaders = $("thead th",table);

Change it to

$tableHeaders = $("thead th:not([colspan])",table);

and it works for me!

EDIT:
Changed the code and the location
