each "row"has a row beneath it with a "menu" part
to edit / view the record etc. using css the menu is set to
display:none. when a user clicks the record jquery does a .show() on
the menu row</p>
<p>is it posible to sort the columns preserving the record row and
menu row (maybe grouping them with a class or something) the sort to
not read the menu row. and if you click on ID / Client / Cm on any of
the "sections" (Display / Classifieds) it sorts that colum
for the whole table... so say i click on cm under classifieds it also
orders the colum acordingly for display</p>
<p> </p>
<table width="400" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td colspan="3">Display</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>ID</th>
<th>Client</th>
<th>Cm</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>1</td>
<td>xx</td>
<td>16</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="3">view | edit</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>2</td>
<td>yy</td>
<td>3</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="3">view | edit</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="3">Classifieds</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>ID</th>
<th>Client</th>
<th>Cm</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>3</td>
<td>zz</td>
<td>45</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="3">view | edit</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>4</td>
<td>aa</td>
<td>32</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="3">view | edit</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>5</td>
<td>bb</td>
<td>17</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="3">view | edit</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>6</td>
<td>cc</td>
<td>87</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="3">view | edit</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>
im sure i can build an ajax thing to reload the table and do the
sorting server side but was kinda hoping against that
