Javascript/JQuery for Sorting "Paged Tables"?

Posted by jeff00seattle on March 25, 2009 at 3:51pm

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

Jeff in Seattle

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
