I was going to modify the standard "digit" parser for the tableSorter plugin to fix the other problem I reported here:
http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-en/browse_frm/thread/c5d1ecc422e68a89 but I found out that it seems impossible. It's very easy to add a new parser using $.tablesorter.addParser() method, but there is no interface for updating the existing parsers. If the author has no objections, I would humbly request adding this possibility in any way it seems suitable. Maybe even by modifying the existing addParser() method to allow replacing the parser if it's already exists (currently, this option is disabled). thanx in advance!
