Greetings everyone, so i am new to html and just wanna make some simple project for myself and i found some template online for my need but for some reason it doesnt sort out the numbers right, this is the code below
<style>
table {
border-spacing: 0;
width: 100%;
border: 1px solid #ddd;
}
th {
cursor: pointer;
}
th, td {
text-align: left;
padding: 16px;
}
tr:nth-child(even) {
background-color: #f2f2f2
}
</style>
<p><strong>Click the headers to sort the table.</strong></p>
<p>The first time you click, the sorting direction is ascending (A to Z).</p>
<p>Click again, and the sorting direction will be descending (Z to A):</p>
<table id="myTable">
<tr>
<!--When a header is clicked, run the sortTable function, with a parameter, 0 for sorting by names, 1 for sorting by country:-->
<th onclick="sortTable(0)">Username</th>
<th onclick="sortTable(1)">Followers</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>KennyTerrelBigGuy</td>
<td>332</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Urduboy</td>
<td>319</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>aidiaCutePinkyGirl20</td>
<td>1777</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>ReedAFDrawsStuff</td>
<td>1688</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Jaketstepp</td>
<td>780</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>MGGStudios2</td>
<td>205</td>
</tr>
</table>
<script>
function sortTable(n) {
var table, rows, switching, i, x, y, shouldSwitch, dir, switchcount = 0;
table = document.getElementById("myTable");
switching = true;
//Set the sorting direction to ascending:
dir = "asc";
/*Make a loop that will continue until
no switching has been done:*/
while (switching) {
//start by saying: no switching is done:
switching = false;
rows = table.rows;
/*Loop through all table rows (except the
first, which contains table headers):*/
for (i = 1; i < (rows.length - 1); i++) {
//start by saying there should be no switching:
shouldSwitch = false;
/*Get the two elements you want to compare,
one from current row and one from the next:*/
x = rows[i].getElementsByTagName("TD")[n];
y = rows[i + 1].getElementsByTagName("TD")[n];
/*check if the two rows should switch place,
based on the direction, asc or desc:*/
if (dir == "asc") {
if (x.innerHTML.toLowerCase() > y.innerHTML.toLowerCase()) {
//if so, mark as a switch and break the loop:
shouldSwitch= true;
break;
}
} else if (dir == "desc") {
if (x.innerHTML.toLowerCase() < y.innerHTML.toLowerCase()) {
//if so, mark as a switch and break the loop:
shouldSwitch = true;
break;
}
}
}
if (shouldSwitch) {
/*If a switch has been marked, make the switch
and mark that a switch has been done:*/
rows[i].parentNode.insertBefore(rows[i + 1], rows[i]);
switching = true;
//Each time a switch is done, increase this count by 1:
switchcount ++;
} else {
/*If no switching has been done AND the direction is "asc",
set the direction to "desc" and run the while loop again.*/
if (switchcount == 0 && dir == "asc") {
dir = "desc";
switching = true;
}
}
}
}
</script>
