I have nested tables within a table that has the tablesorter applied to it.
It adds sort headers to the nested tables, but they don\'t sort the rows and a Javascript err
Your first option is much easier (making the nested tables not sortable):
Construct the table something like so:
$('.tablesorter').tablesorter({selectorHeaders: '> thead > tr > th'});
And then you might also need to prefix all your css with something like:
table.tablesorter > thead > tr > ...
