html - Sort table with unknown number of headers using jQuery Table Sort, then only sort on 2 headers -


the scenario

i have table on web page dynamically generated using jsp. number of columns/headers variable (could 6 or 40+). i'm using jquery tablesorter sort table. table should sort on header elements 5 , 6 moment.

the question

using tablesorter allows set header elements false, disabling them sort options. since number of headers variable need way of inverting options can set sorter option true , rest disabled default. either that, or need way total number of header elements , run through loop set them false.

the syntax little tricky me i'm not sure how loop through following:

$(document).ready(function() {          $("table").tablesorter({              headers: {                  0: {                      sorter: false                  },                  1: {                      sorter: false                  }                  .                 .                 .             }          });      }); 

so 2 want sort on in example "primary disease" , "risk index".

the code

another small problem have row needs appear above table header. it's higher level of heading table information. here's fiddle code.

css

th.headersortup {      background-image: url(../img/small_asc.gif);      background-color: #3399ff;  } th.headersortdown {      background-image: url(../img/small_desc.gif);      background-color: #3399ff;  } th.header {      background-image: url(../img/small.gif);          cursor: pointer;      font-weight: bold;      background-repeat: no-repeat;      background-position: center left;      padding-left: 20px;      border-right: 1px solid #dad9c7;      margin-left: -1px;  }  

jquery

$(document).ready(function() {      $("#mytable").tablesorter({          headers: {              2: {                  sorter: true             },              3: {                  sorter: true             }          }      });  });

edit: header "patient list - all" , "clinical adherence information" headers 0 , 1. headers "primary disease" , "risk level" 5 , 6.

edit2: needs work ie8+.

maybe easier if tried out fork of tablesorter on github, allows apply class names header disable sort. need this:

$('table thead th')   .addclass('sorter-false')   .filter(':eq(2), :eq(3)').removeclass('sorter-false'); 

ok, try method (demo):

var headers = {},     $table = $('#mytable'), i,     l = $table.find('thead th').length,      // columns 0 , 1 top row "patient list - all"     // , "clinical adherence information"     sortcolumns = [2, 3, 4, 5];  // build headers object; based on sortcolumn selections (i = 0; < l; i++) {     if ($.inarray(i, sortcolumns) < 0) {         headers[i] = {             sorter: false         }     } } $table.tablesorter({     widgets: ['zebra'],     headers: headers // headers object built above });
