Sortable wiki tables

This JSPWiki Style allows you to make tables sortable by enclosing them inside a %%sortable block.
Just click the column header and your table is sorted without round-trip to the server.

Usage

Enclose your tables in %%sortable tags. Make sure your table starts with a row of all header cells ( wikisyntax: || ). Now move your the mouse over one of the clickable header cells. You'll see a tool-tip and a changed mouse pointer. Click the column header to sort, clicking again will reverse the sort order. The sort algorithm will auto-guess the data type of your column -- date, numeric or string -- and adjust the sorting algorithm accordingly !
