How to sort a dynamically rendered table?

Question

I am using AJAX to display a table, I need to sort that rendered table at client side using JavaScript or jQuery or whatever is best.

I tried jQuery it is working fine when page is loaded but by dynamically writing html content into a div and there by sorting that rendered table is not working.

I think the problem is JavaScript is not working while rendering, I wrote some script alert while rendering html these tags works while rendering a page.

Did you try [jQuery tablesorter](http://tablesorter.com/docs/)? — Salman A, Jul 01 '11 at 13:33
What is "not working" supposed to mean? What does your code look like? Can you show us an example that demonstrates the issue, or shall we just guess? — Lightness Races in Orbit, Jul 01 '11 at 13:36
@salman: Yes i tried jQuery it is working fine for page level rendering but the problem here is jquery sort table or any javascript tags are not getting called while rendering a div... — Raviraja, Jul 01 '11 at 13:37

yes, how are you calling the PHP? with the update JS function you are using, setup a callback function — GBa, Jul 01 '11 at 14:51

By using tablesorter plugin:

$("table").tablesorter();

re-running each time table is affected (i.e it will not be enought to run this command once when page loading is complete)

No idea.. :( I am also upset by the same text copy lower. – Ēriks Daliba Jul 01 '11 at 14:35
The proper method is to use `$("table").trigger("update");` when updating the table instead of re-running the plugin. – Mottie Jan 25 '12 at 22:24
