reverse default sort order to DESC

[twentyfortysix]

hello
how can I reverse the initial order from ASC to DESC?

The original documentation says:

Sort in descending order first

Making sorttable sort your columns in descending order first rather than ascending order requires editing sorttable.js. Find the line:

row_array.sort(this.sorttable_sortfunction);
and after it, add a new line:

row_array.reverse();

but that is no longer the case, as the code went thru refactoring ;)
thx

ok, I found the code
sort_numeric: function(a,b) { var aa = parseFloat(a[0].replace(/[^\-\d.]/g,'')) || 0; var bb = parseFloat(b[0].replace(/[^\-\d.]/g,'')) || 0; return aa - bb; },

and change it to:
sort_numeric: function(a,b) { var aa = parseFloat(a[0].replace(/[^\-\d.]/g,'')) || 0; var bb = parseFloat(b[0].replace(/[^\-\d.]/g,'')) || 0; return bb - aa; },

(changed the aa, bb comparison)

It'll be better to have a option or something like that not to hack the code ;) But that is not all, indeed, the arrow shows previous direction, which corresponds to the overall default sorting direction... What a fun :)

update:
here is how it works for me
I changed the arrows on row 24:
ARROWS: /MSIE [5-8]\.\d/.test(navigator.userAgent) ? ['&nbsp<font face="webdings">5</font>','&nbsp<font face="webdings">6</font>'] : ['&nbsp;&#x25BE;','&nbsp;&#x25B4;'],
plus reversed the default sorting logic on row 286:
if (!inverse) sortle.val.reverse();
