Text wrap on verbose columns lost after sort.

[bentwonk]

Hi
Love the functionality of tablesort, but I have an issue with it sorting columns that require wordwrap,

When when a sort is applied to the initial result (beforeSort.png) the table re-formats so that each row is one line high, (afterSort.png) which has the effect of shoving half the table outside the viewing area.

I tried altering the table css, (table-layout: fixed; word-wrap: break-word;) etc, but now the text overwrites itself (withTableLayoutFixed.png)

Is it possible to sort, while preserving multi-line text in a column?

Cheers Ben

Mind pasting some of the code used in your table to jsfiddle or codepen? It would make debugging possible for us.

Here is my little test case. I suspect its more to do with my css.

Also can linked text be embedded into the table? and be invisible to the
search?

Thank you

Ben

@bentwonk are you sure you pasted any code? I can see none...

[bentwonk]

I'd really appreciate if you could paste your code to either jsfiddle or codepen.

UI put my code up at
http://jsfiddle.net/#&togetherjs=7buL68vjsG

but I don't use jfiddle, so don't know how to include the tablesort.js file

Ugh, just re-send the zip file to my email address shown on my Github profile. The jsfiddle you sent me does not work.

@bentwonk Can you simplify your test case and not use togetherjs? Just the html table with content and an initialization of Tablesort. This will make it easier to debug/fix.

You can add an external script in JSFiddle by selecting External Resources from the left sidebar.

Here you go

thanks

Closing. Feel free to re-open @bentwonk if you can simplify your test case as outlined above
