 * Hi Everyone,
 * Looking for some helpful pointers if anyone knows
 * I have a product table on my website which is built from SQL queries. I’d like
   to add sorting functions to the top headers, and found this java script option
   at [http://tablesorter.com/docs](http://tablesorter.com/docs)
 * I think Ive followed the instructions correctly, but cant seem to get it to work.
   Ive added the js files to folder under “wp-content/scripts”.
 * Ive entered the following code in to the header file (note I have also tried 
   adding this directly to the template php file as well)
 *     ```
       <script type="text/javascript" src="/wp-content/scripts/jquery-latest.js"></script>
       <script type="text/javascript" src="/wp-content/scripts/jquery.tablesorter.js">
   
       $(document).ready(function()
           {
               $("#myTable").tablesorter();
           }
       ); 
   
       </script>
       ```
   
 * I then have the following code that builds my table
 *     ```
       <?php
       global $wpdb;
       $products = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM products WHERE type='ax' AND vtype='ACT' ");
   
       echo "<table id='mytable' class='tablesorter'>";
       echo "<thread>";
       echo "<th>Part Image</th>";
       echo "<th>Part Number</th>";
       echo "<th>Size</th>";
       echo "<th>Dep</th>";
       echo "<th>Vol</th>";
       echo "<th>Curr</th>";
       echo "<th>Power</th>";
       echo "<th>Air</th>";
       echo "<th>Pres</th>";
       echo "</thread>";
   
       foreach($products as $part_num){
       echo "<tbody>";
       echo "<tr>";
       echo "<td><img src=".$part_num->image.\"></td>";
       echo "<td>".$part_num->part_num."</td>";
       echo "<td>".$part_num->size."</td>";
       echo "<td>".$part_num->dep."</td>";
       echo "<td>".$part_num->vol."</td>";
       echo "<td>".$part_num->curr."</td>";
       echo "<td>".$part_num->power."</td>";
       echo "<td>".$part_num->air."</td>";
       echo "<td>".$part_num->pres."</td>";
       echo "</tr>";
       echo "<tbody>";
       }
       echo "</table>";
       ?>
       ```
   
 * Any help would be gratefully appriciated
 * Thank you
