Im playing around with the Tablesorter plug-in for jQuery and was trying to get a very simple grouping functionality added into it. Using the follow html/js works great until you click sort again and reverse the order. The headers get moved to the bottom of the group when this happens. The following is my (admitedly hacky) attempt at it. Does anyone have any ideas?
<html>

$(document).ready(function()
{
$("#test_table").tablesorter({
sortForce: [[3,0]]
});
$(".group_details").hide();
$(".group_header").click(function(){
var group = $(this).attr("group");
var $expander = $(this).children("td.expanderguy")
if ($("." + group + ":visible").length){
$("." + group + "").fadeOut('fast');
$expander.html("<img src='icons/plus.gif'>");
}
else{
$("." + group + "").fadeIn('fast');
$expander.html("<img src='icons/minus.gif'>");
}
});
}
);
</script>
