Table Sorter

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 82% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   Doesn’t work for dynamically updated tables (using Javascript). Will duplicate rows. It also has no way to keep certain rows (like a total at the end old the table) from being sorted. There is zero support if it doesn’t work for you, I have a table column that won’t sort at all, who knows why? This topic was modified 2 years, 7 months ago by Dennis Bareis.

   Well it’s all in the title: the plugin is rather simple and does exactly what its name says. It is very easy to set up, and works perfectly (even for freshly-supported accented alphabets!)
