Simple table sorting
Created in trying to replace https://joequery.github.io/Stupid-Table-Plugin/ on a jQuery-less website
No significant defence against large tables (redraw uses a document fragment, but if the sorting itself is slow, so be it)
Header cell attributes:
- data-sort – only columns with this attribute are sortable. Defines the column datatype. Possible values: string | int | float | date
- data-sort-dir (optional) – direction of sorting. Possible values: asc (default) | desc
- data-sort-col (optional) — if the table header contains merged cells, it might be needed to specify the correct column index (the first column's index is 0).
Data cell attribute:
- data-sort-value (optional) — in case if the displayed cell content is not the value that has to be sorted.
Handling values
- Wrong number/date values are treated as empty values.
- Empty values are first at ascending sorting and last at desc.
