Implementation of sorting algorithm for Instructor views using 'TableSorter'. TableSorter is a jQuery plugin for turning a standard HTML table with table-head and table-body tags into a sortable table without rendering fresh. TableSorter can parse and sort many data types linked with the table column.


Design

To integrate the table sorter into any view two things are needed: i) Include a gem in Gemfile

gem 'jquery-tablesorter'

ii) Including jQuery-tablesorter in app/assets/javascripts/application.js

//= require jquery-tablesorter

This loads only the core-widgets. It will neither include the extracted widgets nor any files from the addons and extras directories.
