Thats the hard part about trying to sort an already built table, I
prefer the other direction, build the tables off a set of data.. This
way you can do the formatting afterward and not have any issues.

Kim, is it possible to publish a test page so i can take a look?
A "quick fix" would be to use the new property textExtractionType - which in
true tablesorter spirit is undocumented.
Here is a example:
This forces the tablesorter to extract data out of the title attribute,
allowing a simple way to present mixed data to the user
(string/numbers/etc).
<script>
$("table").tableSorter({
textExtractionType: ['title']
});
</script>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Row</th>
<th>Number</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td title="1">One</td>
<td title="30">30.0000000000</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td title="2">2</td>
<td title="50"><a href="50.00000000000</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
Best regards
