[jira] [Commented] (ACCUMULO-4765) Improve sortTable js function

Christopher Tubbs commented on ACCUMULO-4765:
---------------------------------------------

A javascript-savy developer might be aware of some mechanism to determine the element from which the "sortTable" function was called, and be able to quickly inspect the DOM to figure out which column number is being sorted on. It could change the implementation from calls to {{sortTable(3)}} and {{sortTable(8)}} to just {{sortTable(this)}} or just {{sortTable()}} everywhere, which would both be more robust against copy/paste errors, or other kinds of restructuring of the html templates.

> The sortTable() javascript function is used quite a lot (and has many implementations) in the Monitor but takes the column number as a parameter.  While this is a simple solution that works well, it could break if the order of the columns change.  It would be nice to have a sortTable function that is smarter and could automatically detect which column to sort.
