The default stringcomparer in javascript uses Latin1, which doesn't work
properly for scandinavian characters. In order to get the kind of sort you
are looking for, you have to change two functions in the tablesorter script:
function sortText(a,b) {
//return ((a < b) ? -1 : ((a > b) ? 1 : 0));
return a.toString().localeCompare(b.toString());
};
function sortTextDesc(a,b) {
//return ((b < a) ? -1 : ((b > a) ? 1 : 0));
return b.toString().localeCompare(a.toString());
};
This will sort the text using the browsers current culture. So if the users
browser is set to a scandinavian culture, it will function correctly. If the
users browser is in english, then they will not see any difference.
I hope this helps.
