Javascript/JQuery for Sorting "Paged Tables"?
jeff00seattle - March 25, 2009 - 15:51
Hi
I have been using server-side PHP functions tablesort_sql() and pager_query() which has been satisfactory for small tables and small number of site users.
Alas, as this site is growing, I need to consider client-side options for sorting these paged tables. To be clear, a paged table is limiting the number of table's rows exposed per page.
In JavaScript, I have found sort solutions of single tables; however, I have not found any sort solutions for paged tables.
Does anybody know of any?
In addition, does anybody know any table sort solutions in JQuery?
Thanks

jquery plugins
there are a lot of jQuery plugins that deal with tables, and especially sorting and paging them.
check out http://plugins.jquery.com/project/Plugins/category/54
flexigrid and datatables are popular, and have features beyond what you're asking for.
there's also yahoo's yui_datatables, which also has a drupal integration module: http://drupal.org/project/yui_datatable
