GENERALLY works well for STATIC tables

By Dennis Bareis (dbareis) on November 30, 2023

Doesn't work for dynamically updated tables (using Javascript). Will duplicate rows.

It also has no way to keep certain rows (like a total at the end old the table) from being sorted.

There is zero support if it doesn't work for you, I have a table column that won't sort at all, who knows why?

Perfect

Well it's all in the title: the plugin is rather simple and does exactly what its name says. It is very easy to set up, and works perfectly (even for freshly-supported accented alphabets!)

works great thanks!

Does not work at all.
