So i have a table with both names and numerical values and I'm really struggling to figure out how to sort both. What do I need to modify in order for it to sort numbers as well? My table has 8 columns.
function sortTable(n) {
var table, rows, switching, i, x, y, shouldSwitch, dir, switchcount = 0;
table = document.getElementById("funds");
switching = true;
dir = "asc";
while (switching) {
switching = false;
rows = table.rows;
for (i = 1; i < (rows.length - 1); i++) {
shouldSwitch = false;
x = rows[i].getElementsByTagName("TD")[n];
y = rows[i + 1].getElementsByTagName("TD")[n];
if (dir == "asc") {
if (x.innerHTML.toLowerCase() > y.innerHTML.toLowerCase()) {
shouldSwitch= true;
break;
}
} else if (dir == "desc") {
if (x.innerHTML.toLowerCase() < y.innerHTML.toLowerCase()) {
shouldSwitch = true;
break;
}
}
}
if (shouldSwitch) {
rows[i].parentNode.insertBefore(rows[i + 1], rows[i]);
switching = true;
switchcount ++;
} else {
if (switchcount == 0 && dir == "asc") {
dir = "desc";
switching = true;
}
}
}
}
I'm brand new to coding and loving it, any help would be greatly appreciated!
