sortable_column_headings(columns, options={})

so

<tr>
  <%= sortable_column_headings(['name', 'age']) %>
</tr>

gives

<tr>
  <th><a href="?dir=asc&sort=name">Name<span></span></a></th>
  <th><a href="?dir=asc&sort=age">Age<span></span></a></th>
</tr>

When selected the link will be given a class of selected and either asc or desc. You can use this to style the span with an arrow.

Styling

If you want different headings to be displayed in your table headings use translations under the tablesorter namespace.

TODO

• Test!
• Add a note about translations for table headings
• maybe extend api of helper method so you can pass a hash rather then an array
• Improve readme and add some default css to show arrow styling
• twitter bootstrap arrows option
• Secondary sort
• Dont call order if no params passed
• mongoid?
• datamapper?
