Hi, Actually i have been playing around with two column sorting a while back, the design of the plugin is in fact a bit stupid since it builds strictly around one column sorting (it was originally designed just for speed and the fun of it all). The built in sorting of Arrays in javascript is a bit let's just call it limited. A two column sorting function basically just check if a condition is true / false, if false it would need to send the current array to the next sorting function. I will see if i have the time and patience to introduce two column sorting in a upcoming release.

Either my Google-fu is weak, or the TableSorter plugin appears to be the only game in town for table sorting in jQuery-land: http://motherrussia.polyester.se/jquery-plugins/tablesorter/ Now, don't get me wrong, it works perfectly fine (when not trying to stripe a 1600 row table), but it lacks a feature that I need for my particular data set - multi-column sorting, or at a minimum, using another column as a tie-breaker. The data I'm dealing with is half zeros, and half non-zeros, and users have expressed annoyance that all the rows with zeros end up in an unuseful order when they sort by that column. I've determined that it would be nigh-impossible to wedge in any sort of consideration of multiple columns in the existing plugin. It puts together all the data from one column before throwing it at the sort routine, and the sort routine itself is utterly unaware that there's anything outside of the current data set to look at, rightfully so. So before I set out to try and solve the problem (or switch back to server-side sorting, eww), does anyone already have a table sorting plugin for jQuery that can handle multiple column sorting, or that can use a second column as a tie-breaker?
