Something like this?  (Note that jQuery and JS in general are still
often a challenge for me).

----------

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">

$(document).ready(function() {
    // extend the default setting to always sort on the first column
    $.tablesorter.defaults.sortList = [[0,0]];
    // call the tablesorter plugin
    $("table.tablesorter").tablesorter({ widgets: ['zebra'] });
    //assign the sortStart event
    $("table").bind("sortStart",function() {
        $("#overlay").show();
    }).bind("sortEnd",function() {
        $("#overlay").hide();
    });
});

</script>
