Hi Christian, I've just found a bug which sounds like it's related to this issue. You may already be aware of this but I'll post it anyway.
I have a table with two rows in the header. The first row has one cell spanning all the columns, and the second row has a cell for each column. With all the default settings (i.e. nothing passed in to the tablesorter function), the sort arrows appear on the spanned cell as well as each of the main header cells. But when clicking any column, the table sorts by the next column along. So if I click the spanned cell, it sorts by the first column; if I click the 3rd cell in the second row, it sorts by the 4th column. I think this is because the spanned cell is now being added to the header cell list. In an earlier version I used, it was ignored completely, so cell 0 was the first column, now cell 0 is the header cell, but when you click it, it sorts by what used to be cell 0, the first column. Hope that helps! -- Scott.
