Answer 1

Read the tablesorter documentation. You can manually sort by clicking one column, holding shift, and clicking other columns. Or you can code in a default sort by setting configuration options - the example in documentation to sort by first and second columns in ascending order is:

$(document).ready(function() 
    { 
        $("#myTable").tablesorter( {sortList: [[0,0], [1,0]]} ); 
    } 
);

Answer 2

Thanx very much for your reply.I went for sortForce: [[0,0]] option in jquery.tablesorter.js.Added one as first columns for both folders and documents. For folders and for documents ..

This solved my problem.

Thanx again Dushyant Joshi
