Question

I have this table that I am sorting with tablsorter. I want to force sort the C, but I also want to make that row not clickable by the user. (meaning tablesorter force sorts on this row, then the user can’t touch it.)

<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>A</th>
<th>B</th>
<th>C</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>1</td>
<td>2</td>
<td>3</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

Here is my tablesorter code:

params = {
          sortList: [[2, 0]]
          , headers: {
              0: { sorter: false },
              1: { sorter: 'text' },
              2: { sorter: 'text' },
          }
          }
          , sortForce: [[2,0]] 
};

When i set row 2 to : 2: { sorter: false }, I get an exception. I think this exception is because my sortList is set to [[2,0]], my sortFroce is set to [[2,0]], but setting row 2 to, 'false'. –Is there a way to do this?

Answer 1

I seem to remember an issue with sortForce not working correctly, but I can’t seem to find it in the change log, except back in version 2.0.2.

Either way, it should be fixed in my fork of tablesorter on github. Here is a demo I put together (I left out the sortList option so you can see the last column sort.
