I try to find a way how to disable sorting on column. I use jQuery plugin tablesorter. And by default if you click on header cell it sort column data, but what I need to do if I don't need to use sorting on one or two column in four columns table.

Thanks in advance.

{ ...
   headers: { 0: { sorter: false} }
}
