generic code to sort tables ?

[Mel]

i need to sort my table based on a "header click".

is there a generic code out there that does that for me, or i have to write
one for each and every table i come up with ?

many thanks for your input

There is generic code to a degree, but the sorting routine may have to
be custom made.

The sort table function receives a sort function as an argument.

See if this is what you're after and, if so, I'd be happy to help you.

Not sure how 'generic' this is, but it comes with a nice tutorial.

Also not sure about 'generic' but here's another link with a nice
description and it's unobtrusive javascript to boot!
