NoFunc | Table Sort

I really liked kryogenix’s solution to the table sort. This code has not been changed much.

Two main speed enhancements:

Added "textContent" to the grabText function for FireFox + Opera support,
Removed uneccessary "sortbottom" class, as you should be using <TFOOT> anyways…

Add resortTable(this,this.cellIndex) to your columns to make them sortable.

Example: Internal Link — example is also using Table Organize

JAVASCRIPT

function $(v) { return(document.getElementById(v)); }
function $T(v,i) { return((typeof(i)=='string'?$(i):(i?i:document)).getElementsByTagName(v)); }
function iSW(w,n) { if($(w)) $(w).id=''; if(n) n.id=w; }

function grabText(o) {

    if(typeof(o)=="string"||typeof(o)=="undefined") return(o);
    if(o.innerText) return(o.innerText); // IE
    if(o.textContent) return(o.textContent); // FireFox + Opera

    var z='',r=o.childNodes;

    for(var i=0; i<r.length; i++) { switch(r[i].nodeType) {
    
        case 1: z+=grabText(r[i]); break; // ELEMENT_NODE
        case 3:    z+=r[i].nodeValue; break; // TEXT_NODE

    } }
    
    return(z);
}

function resortTable(o,id) { SORT_INDEX=id||o.parentNode.cellIndex;

    var T=getParent(o.parentNode,'TABLE'); if(T.rows.length<=1) return;

    var rX=grabText(T.rows[1].cells[SORT_INDEX]), S=$T('span',o)[0], r=new Array();

    if(rX.match(/^\d\d[\/-]\d\d[\/-][0-9]{2,4}$/)) fn=sortDate;
    else if(rX.match(/^[\d\.]+$/)) fn=sortNumeric;
    else if(rX.match(/^[£$]/)) fn=sortCurrency;
    else fn=sortLower;

    for(i=1; i<T.rows.length; i++) { r[i-1]=T.rows[i]; } r.sort(fn);

    if(S.innerHTML=='↓') { r.reverse(); S.innerHTML='↑'; } else { S.innerHTML='↓'; }

    if($('prevTH')) $T('span',$('prevTH'))[0].innerHTML='&nbsp;'; iSW('prevTH',o);

    for(i=0; i<r.length; i++) { T.tBodies[0].appendChild(r[i]); }

function sortCurrency(a,b) {

    function z(v) { return(grabText(v.cells[SORT_INDEX]).replace(/[^0-9.]/g,'')); }

    return(parseFloat(z(a))-parseFloat(z(b)));

    function z(v) { v=grabText(v.cells[SORT_INDEX]); return(v.substr(6,v.length==10?4:2)+v.substr(3,2)+v.substr(0,2)); }

    return((a==b?0:(a<b?-1:1)));

}

function sortNumeric(a,b) { a=z(a); b=z(b);

    function z(v) { return(parseFloat(grabText(v.cells[SORT_INDEX]))); }
    
    return((isNaN(a)?a:0)-(isNaN(b)?b:0));
