I suggest that you first push your markers into a global array, so that you can refer to them by number. Place the code that references the marker inside your table before you sort it. Perhaps something like

  var n=gmarkers.length - 1;

The array, and any other variables or functions you mention in your table, needs to be global, because JavaScript launched the from HTML in the tables executes in global context.

You'll almost certainly need to use a createMarker() function to hold Function Closure on the variables associated with your markers in order to do anything useful with your markers once you've associated them with table entries.
