Javascript Toolbox - Table Sort utility - Sort on column's @intattribute

[Rick]

Hello Matt, et.al.,
I would like to enrich JSToolbox Table sorting so it can sort a column
based upon an "int" attribute inserted in the td tag. The necessity
is around the ability to sort a column on an alternate sort sequence
rather than the actual displayed values. For example, bond or product
ratings have values of A, AA, AA+, B-, NR, etc. These are what show in
the column. Yet, a different sort sequence is desired rather than
alphanumeric. In preparation for this, I've inserted the sort
sequence in an attribute named int. I'd like the sort to look to this
alternate value (always numeric) anytime it "sees" @int in the td tag.

Thank you for any directional boost you can provide.

Cheers,
Rick
