confirmed by looking at live site, $("#freeagents").get(0). config.parsers.8.id is "text". Looks like you'll have the same problem with "3B" as well for the same reason.
To force a specific parser to be used, pass the options in to Tablesorter on invocation. In this case for example: jQuery("#freeagents").tablesorter({ headers: { 7: { sorter: 'digit' }, 8: { sorter: 'digit' } } }); You can collapse the white space if you wish but multiline makes it more readable, especially when you start adding other options (e.g. widgets, forced sort orders, ...). e.g. jQuery("#freeagents").tablesorter({ headers: { 7: { sorter: 'digit' }, 8: { sorter: 'digit' }}}); Hope this helps, aquaone On Fri, Jan 29, 2010 at 16:15, mackrider <matst...@gmail.com> wrote: > > How do I do that exactly? > > aquaone wrote: > > > > It's detecting it as text then most likely.
