Sorting empty cells

Flexible client-side table sorting

NOTE!

• Set the emptyTo selector below:
  • bottom - sort empty table cells to the bottom.
  • top - sort empty table cells to the top.
  • emptyMax - sort empty table cells as having a value greater than the max (more positive) value (added v2.16.2)
  • emptyMin - sort empty table cells as having a value greater than the min (more negative) value (added v2.16.2)
  • none or zero
    • Sort empty table cells as if the cell has the value equal to zero
    • None/zero has a value less than A through Z (in javascript, 0 < 'A' && 0 < 'Z'); so in an alphabetical column, empty cells will sort at the top in an ascending sort & at the bottom in a descending sort.
    • In numerical columns, empty cells will sort as if their value was zero.
  
  
• Individual columns can be modified by adding the following (they all do the same thing), set in order of priority:
  • jQuery data data-empty="top".
  • metadata class="{ empty: 'top'}". This requires the metadata plugin.
  • headers option headers : { 0 : { empty : 'top' } }.
  • header class name class="empty-top".
  • Overall emptyTo option.
  
  
• emptyToBottom option was added in v2.1.11, then replaced by the emptyTo option in v2.1.16.
