wp-table-reloaded HTML or other code in cells

Oops! <a href="https://www.mydomain.org/person-name-page/" target="_blank">Last Name</a>

Hi Alissa,

basically the link is the reason why the sorting does not bring the expected results. The content now already varies at the position of “person-name-page” (in your link), so that will be used for the sorting.
You can try to change this by adding the following code into the “Custom Commands” textfield in the “DataTables JavaScript Features” section on the “Edit” screen of your table.

"aoColumnDefs": [ { "sType": "html", "aTargets": [ 0 ] } ]

According to the documentation of the DataTables JavaScript library (which does the sorting) at https://datatables.net/usage/columns#sType, this will sort after the text within the HTML tags.

Best wishes,
Tobias

Thank you for the prompt reply. I will give it a try

I tested it with the player as well, I posted something here (post number 3), just to avoid repeating: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/mp3-jplayer-in-a-table?replies=3

In case it helps in finding out what’s going on, I am sure it’s easy enough.
