Okay, my bad here.
Thanks to the one-on-one help of one of the great members here, I was able to find the problem. It wasn't the software, it was the hardware. There was something odd going on with the development PC I was using to run the test. Not only was my sort running very slow, so were the tests on http://tablesorter.com/docs/example-triggers.html tablesorter.com . When I switched to another machine, the sorts were damned near sub-second. Low-and-behold, I reboot the development machine and now it too sorts quickly. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Sorry to waste your time. - Bryan csi95 wrote: > > Hi folks, > > I've just started using tablesorter for one of my projects, and overall I > love it.
