@aodin/tablesorter NPM

tablesorter

Native JS tablesorter. View a live example.

Install with:

npm i @aodin/tablesorter

A minified JS file and map is included in the dist directory along with optional CSS styles.

Tables must be initialized before sorting is active.

tablesorter.New(document.getElementById("table"))

Or to initialize all tables with a certain class, such as tablesorter:

document.querySelectorAll(".tablesorter").forEach(elem => tablesorter.New(elem))

Column types can be explicitly set using a data-type attribute on the th element. For example:

<th data-type="numeric">Data</th>

To prevent a column from being sortable, add a no-sort class to the th element.

Sorting can also be performed with the sortAsc and sortDesc methods:

const table = tablesorter.New(elem)
table.sortAsc(1)
table.sortDesc(1)
