jQuery tablesorter sort only certain rows/columns

Question

I have a table where some rows have a class of "parent" and some have a class of "child". The "child" rows always appear under the "parent" and you can toggle their visibility. What I want to do is use tablesorter to sort only the parent rows based on their "Last Edit Date" column, right now the childrens' "Last Edit Date" column is getting sorted too and messing up the ordering.
