Allan Jardine 2c14233057 New: Optimisation for sorting - when the sorting runs it will execute the sorting function a lot, particularly for large tables, so we want these functions to be as fast as possible. As it stood, each time the function ran it would prep the data and then do the required comparison - and it would do that data prep every time. This is pointless since toLowerCase (for example) is always going to give the same result when using the same input - so now introduced a third sorting function type (in addition to 'asc' and 'desc') called 'pre', which will pre-format the data to be sorted, only once for each item to be sorted, allowing the sorting comparison function itself to be really fast (simply just the comparison). This is also backwards compatible, if the sorting type doesn't have a 'pre'-formatting method then it will just use the two sorting functions as normal.		2011-11-19 09:53:11 +00:00
