Ajax-y table sort that’s accessible

January 19th, 2009

Below is an example of a javascript that lets you easily sort columns in a table. It’s called sortable.js. It’s been around for awhile, but I thought it worth a mention.

At Pemaquid we use it for table sorting in our Content Manager (our home-grown but spunky little CMS). The nice thing about it is that it degrades gracefully. In other words, the table works just fine even if the javascript doesn’t.

More on the whole bit here.

Editor’s note: Yep, the table below is not the prettiest, and I can’t properly show code snippets at the moment. We’ll be upgrading to WP 2.7 shortly and will bang the CSS around a bit to give a cleaner display.
