Minimal jQuery Plugin For Custom Table Sorting - ordertable

ordertable is a simple, lightweight jQuery plugin which allows you to re-order specified columns and rows in a table according to cells contents.

How to use it:

1. Download the plugin and include the jquery.ordertable.js script after jQuery library.

<script src="jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="jquery.ordertable.js"></script>

2. Call the function on your existing table, with default sorting options.

$('table').orderTable();

3. Add custom sorting arrows to the table.

.order-table { cursor: pointer; }

.order-table:after, .order-table--asc:after, .order-table--desc:after {
  font-size: .7em;
  width: 1em;
  display: inline-block;
}

.order-table:after { content: '▲▼'; }

.order-table--asc:after { content: '▼'; }

.order-table--desc:after { content: '▲'; }

4. To customize order, you can specify a data-ordertable-value on each td.

<td data-ordertable-value="1425333217">Monday, 02 March 2015</td>

5. Full plugin options.

// Class added to <th> elements
buttonClass: "order-table",

// Class added to <th> elements when items are sorted by ascending order
buttonAscClass: "order-table--asc",

// Class added to <th> elements when items are sorted by descending order
buttonDescClass: "order-table--desc",

// excluded rows are always on top ($(...), must be a <tr>)
excludeRows: null,  

// excluded columns (0-based indexes) cannot be ordered
