Hi
I am using tablesorter and have problems sorting tables containing rowspan in the definition. I read the hints here Grouping rows with sorting the HTML table on the client side
but the solution does not work when I have different values for rowspan: once is rowspan = 3, once 4 - depends on the data taken from the database.
Do you have any other plugin that sorts even such non-standard tables, or maybe you know how to set up tablesorter so that it sorts data correctly?
Expected behavior: when a row is clicked on a column, the “belonging” to rowspan should be sorted only in this section, and all the rest should be sorted in the standard way.
Thanks in advance ,

Example table code:
<html>
<body>
<table id="misint" border=1 width="400px">
<thead>
<tr style="background:yellow">
<th>Col1</th>
<th>Col2</th>
<th>Col3</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td rowspan="3">1-1</td>
<td>1-2</td>
<td>1-3</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>2-2</td>
<td>2-3</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>3-2</td>
<td>3-3</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>4-1</td>
<td>4-2</td>
<td>4-3</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>5-1</td>
<td rowspan="2">5-2</td>
<td>5-3</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>6-1</td>
<td>6-3</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</body>
