Hi,

I'm having a couple of problems with the JQuery tablesorter plugin. If you click on a column header, it should sort the data by this column, but there are a couple of problems:

The rows are not properly sorted (1, 1, 2183, 236)
The total row is included in the sort

Regarding (2), I can't easily move the total row to a table footer, because the HTML is generated by the displaytag tag library over which I have limited control.

Regarding (1), I don't understand why the sort doesn't work as I've used exactly the same JavaScript shown in the simplest example in the tablesorter tutorials.

In fact, there's only a single line of JS code, which is:

<body onload="jQuery('#communityStats').tablesorter();">

Thanks in advance, Don
