Hi all, I sent an email to the jquery-plugins list before noticing that it seems to be defunct. I'll quickly try to recreate from memory here...
I tried to get tablesorter to sort a table looking something like this: <table> <thead> <th>One</th> <th colspan="2">Two</th> <th>Four</th> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>1</td> <td>2</td> <td>3</td> <td>4</td> </tr> ...etc... </tbody> </table> But if I try to sort by 'Four', it will sort by the third column instead. So, here is a simple, naiive bugfix that seems to work for me; I'd like to hear any feedback that anyone has. I haven't tried at all with colspans in the data.
