### Node/Browserify

``` js
// npm install tablesort
var tablesort = require('tablesort');

tablesort(el, options);
```

### Default CSS
Add the styling from [tablesort.css](tablesort.css) file to your CSS or roll with your own.


### Extending Tablesort

If you require a sort operation that does not exist
in the [sorts](https://github.com/tristen/tablesort/tree/gh-pages/src/sorts/)
directory, you can add your own.

``` js
Tablesort.extend('name', function(item) {

  // Regular expression to test against.
  // `item` is a table value to evaluate.
  return /foo/.test(item);
}, function(a, b) {

  // Custom sort functionality goes here.
  // e.g var n = (a > b) ? -1 : 1;
  return n;
});
```

If you've made an extend function that others would benefit from pull requests
