Item10820: JQTablePlugin: browser-based sorting not working in SEARCH-generated tables

The browser-based sorting is not working for SEARCH-generated tables, e.g. an overview of the Wiki users. Clicking a column label causes the browser to refresh the page with the corresponding URL-parameters, e.g. ?sortcol=2;table=1;up=0#sorted_table .

This is particularly bad, as the SEARCH anyway causes longer page loading times...

The sorting is working fine; however you're not looking at it quite right.... there's a little up/down icon put into the header on each sortable column. When that is clicked, it performs the browser-side sort. The default 'click the label' sort done by TablePlugin is still there; I didn't disable it when TablePlugin is enabled. Try disabling TablePlugin.

It would be possible to disable the sortcol= link added by the TablePlugin in the JQTablePlugin, I guess, if it's critical that the TablePlugin is used to format the tables.

There are search engines out there that click every table sort heading for every column in every direction. It really kills the f.o server when one of those engines starts indexing a tasks search.

Disabling all server side sorting would be a big plus IMO

I have this line in robots.txt

Disallow: /*?sortcol

Takes care of the search engine rape on tables
