## What it is
A maintained fork of Christian Bach's tablesorter, a jQuery plugin that turns standard HTML tables with THEAD and TBODY into sortable tables without page refreshes. It adds enhancements such as alphanumeric sorting, a pager, widgets for theming, sticky headers, column filters and resizing, plus extensive documentation and demos.

## Use cases
- make an HTML table sortable without page refreshes
- sort tables by dates, currency, IP addresses, or alphanumeric values
- add column filtering and a pager to a large HTML table
- apply Bootstrap or jQuery UI themes to a sortable table
- add sticky headers to a long data table
- sort a table by multiple columns with shift-click

## When to choose
- you have an existing jQuery-based app with HTML tables that need client-side sorting
- you need rich built-in widgets like filters, pager, resizable columns, and sticky headers
- you need parsers for many data types like currency, dates, and IP addresses out of the box

## When to avoid
- you are building a modern framework app (React, Vue) without jQuery
- you need server-side sorting of very large datasets
- you want a dependency-free vanilla JavaScript solution

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, parser, routing
- domain: frontend, web-development, developer-tools
- platform: browser
- tags: jquery-plugin, table-sorting, client-side, pager, column-filtering, sticky-headers, alphanumeric-sorting, nodejs
