The native TableSorter 'usLongDate' fails if the timezone is added like this:
Nov 12, 2008 1:25 PM (PST) Nov 11, 2008 2:25 PM (EST) So I chopped the timezone off with my own custom parser like in the below. But once I add my custom parser, the native parser 'usLongDate' doesn't run! Can I run two parsers over the same data? $.tablesorter.addParser({ // set a unique id id: 'strip_tz', is: function(s) { // return false so this parser is not auto detected return false; }, format: function(s) { // format your data for normalization return s.substring(0,(s.length-5)); }, // set type, either numeric or text type: 'numeric' }); Of course I could just use ISO datatime format like "2008-11-12T21:21:42+00:00" but humans have a hard time reading that. ;-) Thanks! http://www.t1shopper.com/
