jQuery tablesorter is not sorting number correctly

Question

I've been trying for days now to get jQuery tablesorter correctly sort numbers in my table column. I am using the current latest versions of both scripts. The table is rendered fine, but sorting the numbers is not working correctly. When I sort a number column it gives me the following results: 8 7 4 32 31 3 etc.. where you would expect: 32 31 8 etc... I read some comments on adding extra javascript code but I can't find any good javascript examples. The jQuery I'm using now is as follows: ``` $(document).ready(function() { $("#table1") .tablesorter( { sortList: [[0,0]], widthFixed: true, widgets: ['zebra'] } ) } ); ``` Here is my HTML: ```

Name	Count
Name_1	32
Name_2	12
Name_3	11
name_4	14
Name_5	7
Name_6	3
Name_7<…

Accepted Answer

``` Count ``` This solved the problem. Telling the javascript to handle the value's as a digit made the sorting work correct. Still bit silly that number values are not checked in the script as being numbers. But i guess there is a higher purpose for that in the end. Thanks all for your time and help /Fons
