Title: Plugin: WP-Table Reloaded] Sorting stopped working. Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Plugin: WP-Table Reloaded] Sorting stopped working. * Resolved [The Assembly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kaspel/) * (@kaspel) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-table-reloaded-sorting-stopped-working/) * Hi Tobias, * I want to thank you for such a great plugin and all the work you’ve done. * My issue is: The sorting ability has just stopped working on the tables on my site. I don’t know when this started exactly but I just realized it. I noticed in the HTML that the sorting class is not attached anymore to the table column headers but i have no idea how to fix that. The box is checked to enable column sorting in the back end. * [http://universityseminars.columbia.edu/people/rapporteurs/](http://universityseminars.columbia.edu/people/rapporteurs/) * Thanks! * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-table-reloaded/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-table-reloaded/) Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-table-reloaded-sorting-stopped-working/#post-2537352) * Hi, * I can find a definite reason on why the sorting is not working, but my assumption is that this happens due to some JavaScript conflict or incompatibility. For example, your page loads (old versions of!) the jQuery library at least three different times. This is caused by other plugins or your theme. * Also, you could try to switch to the “DataTables JavaScript library” (on the WP-Table Reloaded “Plugin Options” screen) instead of the “Tablesorter” library that you are using now (which however is pretty old and unmaintained already). * Best wishes, Tobias * Thread Starter [The Assembly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kaspel/) * (@kaspel) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-table-reloaded-sorting-stopped-working/#post-2537375) * Thanks Tobias, I had a feeling it was a conflict like that. I will try to find the problem and keep this post updated! * Scott * Thread Starter [The Assembly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kaspel/) * (@kaspel) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-table-reloaded-sorting-stopped-working/#post-2537380) * Hey Tobias, just letting you know that the problem has been fixed. I found the conflicting old jQuery calls and removed them. Now it functions beautifully. * Thank you again!

That is great to hear! Thanks for the confirmation. * Best wishes, Tobias * [fiddyk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fiddyk/) * (@fiddyk) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-table-reloaded-sorting-stopped-working/#post-2537407) * interesting, i am having a similar issue. the plugin has worked FLAWLESSLY for some time now. over the last week, it now begins to hang in the admin, and won’t save any changes. the jscript libraries (datatables) was used. i switched to tablesorter extended to try that, and it still won’t work. i can select “use javascript library” on the table admin and save it, but it won’t save it. i have 248 rows by 3 columns. url: [](http://www.vtx1.net/wordpress/home/select/television-entertainment/channel-lineup/) * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-table-reloaded-sorting-stopped-working/#post-2537409) * Hi, * thanks for your report, and sorry for the trouble that you are experiencing. * From your description, this actually sounds more like the known “Suhosin” problem. Suhosin is a security extension on the server than can (if configured too strict) break the saving of tables and options (due to which those things you mention don’t work). Please take a look at these forums threads for more hints: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-table-reloaded-table-errors](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-table-reloaded-table-errors) [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-table-reloaded-table-not-showing-blankpage](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-table-reloaded-table-not-showing-blankpage) [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-table-reloaded-plugin-wp-table-reloaded](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-table-reloaded-plugin-wp-table-reloaded) [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-table-reloaded-row-limitations](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-table-reloaded-row-limitations) * Another reason might be that the PHP Memory Limit is reached, so that the saving process simply stops. Can you try to increase the limit by following [http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHP](http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHP)? * Can you maybe check these things?
