By "Toggle the sort" I'm assuming you want to change a visual sort
order indicator in the clicked <th>?
As MorningZ suggested your click will fire an ajax .load. The .load's
callback will:
* populate the tables tbody with the return result set
* manipulate the clicked th css to indicate a sort order change
I know you mentioned you can't do client side sorting, but I would
study the Table Sorter plugin and see how they change the sort order
display. IIRC it involves toggling (or removing/adding) a class that
has either a background up or down image. You can test the asc or desc
state of the column by testing for a specific class, .e.g.,
$('th').hasClass('asc');
$('th').hasClass('desc');
