jQuery table sort with colspan or rowspan

I'm using tablesorter and have problems with sorting tables that contain rowspan in definition. I've read hints here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2509690 but solution doesn't work when I have different values for rowspan: once is rowspan=3, once 4 - depends on data taken from DB.

Do you have any other plugin that sorts even such non-standard tables or maybe you know how to tune tablesorter so it sorts data properly?

Expected behaviour: when clicked on column, rows "belonging" to rowspan should be sorted within this section only, all the others - in a standard way.

Thanks in advance,

Table code example:

<html>
<body>
  <table id="misint" border=1 width="400px">
    <thead>
        <tr style="background:yellow">
            <th>Col1</th>
            <th>Col2</th>
            <th>Col3</th>
        </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
          <td rowspan="3">1-1</td>
          <td>1-2</td>
          <td>1-3</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>2-2</td>
            <td>2-3</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>3-2</td>
            <td>3-3</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>4-1</td>
            <td>4-2</td>
            <td>4-3</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td>5-1</td>
          <td rowspan="2">5-2</td>
          <td>5-3</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>6-1</td>
            <td>6-3</td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
  </table>

</body>
</html>
