 * I currently use the TablePress plugin. I just installed the DataTable Sorting
   plugin as I would like users to be able to sort a list of books by title, author,
   topic, etc. Have I installed the right plugin? And if so I need some direction
   as to how to implement it.
 * Thank you,
    Wendy

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * You should not need that extra TablePress Extension, as TablePress already comes
   with the necessary library.
    Just make sure that the “Table Head” and “Use DataTables”
   checkboxes are activated for your table, on its “Edit” screen.
 * If that does not help, can you please post a link to the page with the table 
   where this problem happens, so that I can take a direct look? Thanks!
 * Regards,
    Tobias
