I've been working with the Tablesorter plugin recently and had to do
something similar. You can make your own textExtraction function and
use it to extract an organize the data how you want. In your case I'd
probably do something where you parse out just the numbers, zero pad
them, concat together and return a parseInt on it. The biggest problem
I had was youc an only specify 1 textExtraction function to use so I
added an attribute to the table cells to specify the kind of data then
my textExtraction function decided what to do based on that.
Example:
$.tablesorter.defaults.textExtraction = function (node)
{
var r, v;
try { v = node.attr("textExtraction"); }
catch(e) { v = "none"; }
switch (v)
{
case "specialdate":
//do your stuff and set it to v
break;
default:
v = node.innerHTML;
break;
}
return v;
};
