html-table-sort's Issues

Problem with plugin and Wordpress admin

Wordpress: 3.5.3
Problem with all tables in Wordpress.

Wordpress has tags not only for the first row. The first cell of every row is and every last row also has tags.

That's why, somethings breaks up, if You are using Wordpress with enabled Table auto sort extension.

e.g. Open Posts > All posts
click on Any row to select:

result:

⥮ Can support the CJK characters

Hello, can reorder ⥮ for the Chinese characters (CJK) , Character sets other than ASCII.

Please add a "re-check" button

So some websites don't properly use <th> tags in their HTML which renders this extension useless. I tried using the developer tools to change the elements in the top row to <th> but the extension doesn't pick up on it, probably because the page was edited after initial load.

Please add a "reload" or "re-check" button so we're able to manually edit the page to be compatible with this extension.

Port HTML Table Auto Sort extension to Mozilla Firefox

Mozilla Firefox in 57 version release the WebExtension JavaScript API, that compatible with Chrome, so now will very easy to port most of Chrome extensions for Firefox.

Firefox at now very miss extension for sorting tables.

Can you lookup WebExtension API and port your extension to Firefox, if this is not so hard? Thanks!

Breaks website JS error

I had a page that loaded really poorly I discovered the following error. Disabling this extension resolved the issue.

table-sort.js:28 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'innerText' of null
    at table-sort.js:28
    at table-sort.js:52
    at Array.sort (<anonymous>)
    at stableSort (table-sort.js:51)
    at HTMLTableCellElement.tableHeaders.<computed>.onclick (table-sort.js:25)

I would be happy to test any fixes for you.

Allow sort by number columns.

Good extension!

In my option, sort columns contain numbers by number order instead of string order should be most desired.
Such as "price", "size", "total"..., they may have units (can group by units first then sort).

Negative numbers are sorted incorrectly

Can't sort table in asynchronous content

Bad case example(markdown table in gitlab):

https://git.mif.vu.lt/TankBusterPBL/TankBuster/blob/2d03329ae3b49f6c0dc4b92139fd2cab40f90ad4/bin/Tensorflow/Tensorflow/object_detection/g3doc/detection_model_zoo.md

I write a tempermonkey version of html-table-sort/table-sort.js which support support sorting table in asynchronous content.

If this gist is OK, I will creat pull request.

No source code license or not obvious

At https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/html-table-auto-sort/bpgbkjehkeffmmjfmdlmjjlffgkdcljp the page claims that this extension is open source, and links to this repository to demonstrate this. The text there encourages forking/contributing - but under what license? MIT? GPL? CC0/WTFPL? You have no obligation to license the code - just publicly displaying it is great too, but if you want to grant rights beyond looking at it, you might want to consider one of the above licenses :).

Does not work on local files

With a file saved on my desktop loaded in Chrome as:

file:///Users/me/Desktop/example.html

...it does not work.

If I take that exact file and drop it on a domain:

http://example-domain.com/example.html

...it now works.

Thank you for your support =)

Trouble in sorting numerical columns in a page with multiple tables

At the following URL
https://translate.wordpress.com/languages/tr/
When I try to sort the first (WordPress.com) or third (Simplenote) tables by the "Untranslated" column, order of columns changes unexpectedly.

In the fourth table (Themes), some kind of sorting happens, but the ordering of the result is not correct.

Not as good as TableTools2 for Firefox

This is perhaps a longer term issue, but I would love to see something like https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tabletools2/ for Chrome or the new Firefox plugins system.

gets rid of column span

See this table: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/top/bestofrt/top_100_science_fiction__fantasy_movies/
As soon as one clicks the columns get tighter together (look at the "100%" row, it seems there's only 0px of surrounding margin left).

Anyways thanks for creating this extension! I've been needing it for a long while.
Also, what do you think about adding a CI for continuous delivery (and to ensure us that the package we get really comes from here) such as this script: https://github.com/sindresorhus/refined-github/blob/master/.travis.yml ?

unable to sort tables not using "th", like gerrit changeset tables

Can we make it work in this case?
