It does *not* appear to handle the issue of sorting 40125 before 7400..

IIRC, the custom parser changed from being able to sort as a set to go an item by item comparison, which eliminated being able to do a natural sorting algorithm. This is a bit different from Rodent's requirements but remains a difficulty nonetheless. How would you propose an custom parser for sorting naturally the following and retaining this order? z1.txt z2.txt z9.txt z10.txt z11.txt z12.txt z20.txt z100.txt On Nov 11, 7:37 am, MorningZ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Here's an example if my question above is answered by "yes, that's > correct" > > http://paste.pocoo.org/show/90863/ > > Remove the "console.log" if you aren't using FireFox and Firebug > (which you should be as a JavaScript developer!) > > On Nov 11, 8:33 am, MorningZ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Yuck, why "patch" the js file when a custom parser could just be > > built? > > > before that can happen though, something needs to be made more clear > > > in the examples above, you pretty much are just ignoring letters for > > sorting purposes? > > > On Nov 11, 2:51 am, Rodent of Unusual Size <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > On Nov 11, 12:29 am, Mike Nichols <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > I submitted a patch a long time ago to do this that implemented a > > > > natural sorting algorithm for this but it would never get applied and > > > > I couldn't get a response..I assumed the project was light or dead. > > > > I can send you the patched .js i had if you like. > > > > Sure.

Here's an example if my question above is answered by "yes, that's correct" http://paste.pocoo.org/show/90863/ Remove the "console.log" if you aren't using FireFox and Firebug (which you should be as a JavaScript developer!)

Yup, as I said. And 40123 should sort lower than 7400.
[jQuery] Re: Custom sorter/parser for tablesorter
Yuck, why "patch" the js file when a custom parser could just be built? before that can happen though, something needs to be made more clear in the examples above, you pretty much are just ignoring letters for sorting purposes?

Sure. To what file(s) is it a patch, and does it still apply? Thanks!
[jQuery] Re: Custom sorter/parser for tablesorter
I submitted a patch a long time ago to do this that implemented a natural sorting algorithm for this but it would never get applied and I couldn't get a response..I assumed the project was light or dead. I can send you the patched .js i had if you like.
