Jason: I’m afraid not. You’d need to make a custom enhancement to sorttable to do that (or talk to me about rates for custom JavaScript work by dropping me a mail).

Is there an equivalent to “sortbottom” that will keep a row at the top? (e.g. “sorttop”)

Thanks.

I just wanted to submit my tweak to enable the correct sorting of negative numbers that are denoted by enclosing them in parenthesis like (10.39) = -10.39

What I do is have it replace the opening parenth with a negative sign before stripping all other non-number chars. That way it retains the negative and sorts in true numeric rather than as an absolute value when using parenths.

  sort_numeric: function(a,b) {
    aa = parseFloat(a[0].replace(/\(/g,’-').replace(/[^0-9.-]/g,”));
    if (isNaN(aa)) aa = 0;
    bb = parseFloat(b[0].replace(/\(/g,’-').replace(/[^0-9.-]/g,”));
    if (isNaN(bb)) bb = 0;
    return aa-bb;
  }

  …
  sort_ip: function(a,b) { // Rgds HL
    aa = a[0].split(”.”); aaa = 0; for(i in aa) aaa = aaa*256+parseInt(aa[i]);
    bb = b[0].split(”.”); bbb = 0; for(i in bb) bbb = bbb*256+parseInt(bb[i]);
    return sorttable.sort_NaN(aaa) - sorttable.sort_NaN(bbb);

//* Sort detect empty as lowest ”value”
  sort_numeric: function(a,b) {

    aa = parseFloat(a[0].replace(/[^0-9.-]/g,”"));

    bb = parseFloat(b[0].replace(/[^0-9.-]/g,”")); 

    return sorttable.sort_NaN(aa) - sorttable.sort_NaN(bb);

  },

Stephanie: I’m not sure what you mean by “visible” rows? Sorttable doesn’t make rows visible or invisible.

I love this script, however, I have a checkbox that allows one to select certain records for processing via a post of the form information.

I am trying to add an option to select or unselect all but I would like the select or unselect to select or unselect only visible rows, not all rows.

Is there any easy way to do this that anyone knows of?

Table Sorta Guy: add a custom sort key of 1 or 0 to the cells in question. See http://kryogenix.org/code/browser/sorttable/#customkeys for details.
