sorter.js

//Just a couple requirements that you will have to do:
//
// Your table MUST have an id of "list" (you can change this, it's pretty obvious where it's at in the code)
//
// Your table headers MUST have a class of "sort"
// Your table headers MUST have a class that shows the kind of data they hold ("num", "alpha", or "date")
//I think that's it.
//
// Simply run setClicks(); whenever you want the tables to sort themselves (normally on $(document).ready()

function setClicks() {
	var sortables = document.getElementsByClassName("sort");
	
	for(i=0; i<sortables.length; i++) {
		sortables[i].onclick = sort;
	}	
}
function sort() {
	sortIndex = parseInt(this.id);
	
	var rows = document.getElementsByTagName("tr");
	
	var header = rows[0];

	var sortHead = header.getElementsByClassName('sort')[sortIndex];

	header = header.innerHTML;
	rows[0] = "";
	
	var sortFunc = sortAlpha;
	
	if(sortHead.className.indexOf("num") > -1 ) {
		sortFunc = sortNum;
	} else if(sortHead.className.indexOf("date") > -1) {
		sortFunc = sortDate;
	}

	var list = document.getElementById("list");

	var rowsArr = [];
	
	for(var i=0, max=rows.length; i<max; i++) {
		rowsArr.push(rows[i]);
	}

	rowsArr.splice(0, 1);
	
	rowsArr.sort(sortFunc);

	list.innerHTML = header;
