Client-Side Table Sorting Basic Example

Click on column headers to sort by the column. Sorting is done within the two tbody sections, not across them, and the header and footer are not changed. The table is auto-striped and auto-sorted on the first column on page load.

Index	Numeric	Text	Currency	Date	Checkbox
tbody #1
0	28.4	Bill	$34.095	2013-01-28
1	862.7	Joe	$71.905	2013-09-11
2	426.9	Bob	$66.225	2012-09-01
3	198.3	Matt	$58.045	2012-03-02
4	287.7	Mark	$44.675	2013-12-23
tbody #2
5	574	Tom	$5.764	2014-01-23
6	47.3	Jake	$98.235	2012-03-17
7	759	Greg	$8.754	2012-04-10
8	349.9	Adam	$71.095	2014-08-01

Client-Side Sorting With Large Table

See the Client-Side Sorting With 500 Rows example to see how fast it sorts on your computer.

Rowspan/Colspan Correction

When cells span rows or columns, their cellIndex property is misleading. A cell may be the first td in a row, but actually occupy the second position in the table "grid" because a cell in a row above it has a rowspan > 1. Since the column to sort is calculated automatically based on the cell clicked, the correct column index must be computed rather than relying blindly on the cellIndex property of the clicked cell. The example below demonstrates this complex requirement.
Also, it shows that only classes that are marked as "sortable" will receive the sorted class names. This is important, because you don't want every header cell that is in the same column as the sorted column to be marked as sorted - only the ones you specify.

Rowspan/Colspan Correction
Index	First Two Columns		Second Two Columns
Index	Numeric	Text	Currency	Date
0	176.7	Bill	$43.685	2012-08-18

Client-Side Table Filtering

Client-side table filtering works by scanning each row in the table and matching it against the criteria passed into the filter. Filter values are stored, so adding or removing another filter maintains any other filters that still apply.
The filters in this example were created manually, not using the auto-filter functionality. The first filter is a manually-create select list, the second is a text input for entering free-form text, and the third uses custom functions to do the filtering.

Table Striping

If a table has alternate rows highlighted and it is sorted, filtered, or otherwise manipulated, the sorted row colors can be mixed up. This function simply re-stripes rows by applying a class name to each odd row and removing it from each even row.

Client-Side Table Paging

Although paging through results or records is usually done by making a trip back to the server, it can sometimes be helpful to page through results on the client side.
