It's easy to write a parser to convert the months to a sortable value,
but the days and years are trickier. the current code is as follows:
// add parser through the tablesorter addParser method
$.tablesorter.addParser({
// set a unique id
id: 'dates',
is: function(s) {
// return false so this parser is not auto
detected
return false;
},
format: function(s) {
// format your data for normalization
return
s.toLowerCase().replace(/dec/,12).replace(/nov/,
11).replace(/oct/,10).replace(/sep/,09).replace(/aug/,08).replace(/
jul/,07).replace(/jun/,06).replace(/may/,05).replace(/apr/,
04).replace(/mar/,03).replace(/feb/,02).replace(/jan/,01);
},
// set type, either numeric or text
type: 'numeric'
});
$(function() {
$.tablesorter.defaults.widgets = ['zebra'];
$("#announcements").tablesorter({
headers: {
0: {sorter:'dates'},1:
{sorter:false},2: {sorter:false},3:
{sorter:false}
}
});
});
