Question

I got a table which is ordered by one of the td columns.. When a new row is inserted I need to get the index where the new row will fit without the alphabetical order is corrupted..

I got a method here, but it only works with numbers.. How can you make it work with strings too?

this.get_row_index = function(value, td_index){
    var index = 0;
    td_index = td_index ? td_index:0;
    $('tr', this.scope.tbl_list).each(function(){
        if(parseInt($('td', this).eq(td_index).html()) > value){
            return false;
        }
        index++;
    });

    return index;
};

In javascript strings can just be compared with > and <. So, removing the parseInt should do it.
