Sorting by something other than columns...

I am working on something that needs to have sorting vertically, rather than the normal < th > column sorting. Is there a way to target a specific field and have an entire dataset filtered back that way?

Might be a weird question and not enough information because I can't attach a screenshot.

    Hi rickblalock,

    I'm not sure I quite get the question - isn't the th sorting vertical (i.e. column)? Although this form doesn't allow files to be attached, perhaps you could put your screenshot up on the web somewhere and post a link so we can see what you are looking for?

    Also, have you had a look at the fnSort() API function, can this help with what you are looking for ( http://datatables.net/api#fnSort )?
