How to sort table in HTML by number

How to sort tables in HTML by number
By the way, I know there are questions like this on StackOverflow but none address my issue so please don't close my question with a response of a post with a similar title, but nothing to do with my issue
Context
I am creating a web application for a non-profit little league team. It simply displays the player info on the live stream when you select them in the web app. My client wanted it so it displays the players in order by their batting number, so I did this with the sorttable.js or whatever it is called but I'm having sorting issues
Issues
For example if this is the table
Name
Batting Order
Player 1
1
Player 2
10
Player 3
2
10 would go before 2 because it has a 1.
What I've tried
I've tried making 1 to 01 and 2 to 02 which did work. But I can't use this because the system to calculate whose next gets confused with 02.
What I want
I want to be able to sort my HTML table with javascript by number in the correct order without having 10 be before 2
Code
In case it's needed this is the code
<table class='table table-hover table-dark table-bordered sortable'>
<thead>
<tr>
<!-- <th>Picture</th> -->
<th>Name</th>
<th>Number</th>
<th>Batting Order</th>
<th>Action</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody id="homes">
</tbody>

Something like this would do the job (without using any libraries):
const tb=document.getElementById("homes"),
trs=[...tb.children];
document.body.onclick=ev=>{
let col= ev.target.dataset?.col;
if(col){
trs.sort((a,b)=>a.children[col].textContent-b.children[col].textContent);
trs.forEach(tr=>tb.append(tr));
}
}
<button data-col="1">sort by number</button>
<button data-col="2">sort by batting order</button>
<table class='table table-hover table-dark table-bordered sortable'>

According to the documentation you simply need to add the "sortable" class to the table and add some css for their default style scheme like below. One step in troubleshooting is to remove all of the "fluff" and strip down your solution to the bare minimum. Below, for example, I've removed all of the other classes from the table as a test... it seems to be working fine and sorting appears to be giving the expected result.
To further debug your solution, add back those classes one at a time and see if/when the table stops working.
/* Sortable tables */
table.sortable thead {
background-color: #eee;
color: #666666;
font-weight: bold;
cursor: default;
}
<table class='sortable'>
<thead>
<tr>
<!-- <th>Picture</th> -->
<th>Name</th>
<th>Number</th>
<th>Batting Order</th>
<th>Action</th>
</tr>

<tbody id="homes">

<td>Player 1</td>
<td>10</td>
<td>3</td>

<tr>
<td>Player 2</td>
<td>1</td>
<td>1</td>

<tr>
<td>Player 3</td>

<td>20</td>
<td>7</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.kryogenix.org/code/browser/sorttable/sorttable.js"></script>
According to the documentation again, if your table is created dynamically at some point after page load you can use the .makeSortable(); function to make it sortable like this.
// populate the table with data before unitializing it.
let playerstable = document.getElementById("playerstable");
sorttable.makeSortable(playerstable);
/* Sortable tables */
/* removed ".sortable" */
table thead {
background-color: #eee;

How to sort by rows containing words and numbers in javascript

Newbie here how can I sort all of the following table row attach an onclick listener on the header after it is displayed.
ID
Name
Inventory Volume
1
Rachel
Data is not enough
2
Ross
100
3
Monica
1
4
Connor
Data is not enough
5
Dustin
-5
into this sorting example is in descending, the words should be the last.
ID
Name
Inventory Volume
2
Ross
100
3
Monica
10
5
Dustin
-5
1
Rachel
Data is not enough
4
Connor
Data is not enough
But I also want the other columns to be sorted as well and the other columns to have the function to sort as well.
Tried this solution but only works for the column.
https://jsfiddle.net/7wnke5q2/
function sortData(data, method) {
let lessData = 'Data Not Enough'
let lastItems = []
let sortedList;
if (method == 'descending') {
sortedList = data.sort((a, b) => {
return a - b
})
} else if (method == 'ascending') {
sortedList = data.sort((a, b) => {
return b - a
})
}
for (let i = 0; i < sortedList.length; i++) {
if (sortedList[i] == lessData) {
let item = sortedList[i]
sortedList.splice(i, 1)
sortedList.push(item)
}
}
sortedList = sortedList.concat(lastItems)
return sortedList
}
Could you please help me out. Thanks in advance!

If i understand, you need all "Data Not Enough" at the end. So, it can works:
function sortData(data, method) {
let lessData = 'Data Not Enough'
let sortedList;
sortedList = data.sort((a, b) => {
if(a=='Data Not Enough')
return 1
if(b=='Data Not Enough')
return -1
return method=='ascending'?a-b:b-a
})
return sortedList
}

something like that ?

HTML Table Filtering/Selection

I have an HTML table that has some static data and some from MySQL. It is currently filtering properly, what I need help is adding the "yes" and "no" selections to the selection list. These are just test values, they are being read from MySQL. I am unable to figure out what values to insert here to add values from MySQL to the selection list. Any assistance will be appreciated! Thank you

Not showing yes and no options.

Your filtering logic and odd/even row coloring logic is called BEFORE the data returns from your ajax even though it appears AFTER on the page/code. This is how async methods work.
You need to call the header and coloring logic inside the drawTable() function after, of course, you are done drawing the table... like this:
function drawTable(data) {
for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
drawRow(data[i]);
}
$('#myTable').initRowClasses('odd', 'even');
$('.dropdown-header').tableFilterHeaders(filterText);
}
Make sure to remove the foloowing 2 lines of code:
$('#myTable').initRowClasses('odd', 'even');
$('.dropdown-header').tableFilterHeaders(filterText);
from your code, wherever elsewhere they appear. Leaving them will not break anything, it will just run multiple times unnecessary.

How to assign the values to an array on button click

I have a table in which there is button in last cell of each row when i click on that button the values of other cells in the same row stored in an array now i want if i click on button the values of it rows should stored in an array which is working but if i click on another button of the other row the values of its rows should store in another array not overwirte the values in first array and when i click the button 3rd time in another row it should give the message "you have selected 2 row"
I don't want that if 3rd time i click button it shouldn't store its values in any array
and I want first and second click should store their corresponding values in different arrays
$('#tbl tbody').on( 'click', 'td:last-child', function (e) {
var row = $(this).parent().parent().children().index($(this).parent());
var datas=[];
var data=[];
var imgs=[];
var img=[];
var target = e.srcElement || e.target;
while (target && target.nodeName !== "TR") {
target = target.parentNode;
}
if (target) {
var cells = target.getElementsByTagName("td");
for (var i = 0; i < cells.length-2; i++) {
img = cells[i].querySelector('img');
if(img){
data.push(img.src);
}else{
data.push(cells[i].innerHTML);}
}
}
});
In this when i click on the button which in last cell of each row then I get the values of the corresponding cells in same row
This is code of my table
<table id="tbl" class="table table-bordered table-dark">
<thead>
<tr>
<th scope="col">Name</th>
<th scope="col">Auth Provider</th>
<th scope="col">Auth Unique Id</th>
<th scope="col">Match Id</th>
<th scope="col">Game Mode</th>
<th scope="col">Character 1</th>
<th scope="col">Character 2</th>
<th scope="col">Character 3</th>
<th scope="col">Character 4</th>
<th scope="col">Character 5</th>
<th scope="col">Character 6</th>
<th scope="col">Match Time</th>
<th scope="col">Action</th>
<th scope="col">Schedule Match</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
</tbody>
</table>
$(document).ready(function() {
var trHTML = "";
$.ajax({
url: '../php/admin/schedule_match.php',
type: 'post',
data: {},
success: function(response) {
var data = $.parseJSON(response);
var table;
//table.clear();
table = $('#tbl').DataTable();
table.clear();
if(data!='') {
$.each(data, function(i, item) {
table.row.add([ data[i].name, data[i].provider,data[i].auth,data[i].mid,data[i].mode,'<img width="100px" height= "70px" src=' + data[i].p1 + '>','<img width="100px" height= "70px" src=' + data[i].p2 + '>','<img width="100px" height= "70px" src=' + data[i].p3 + '>','<img width="100px" height= "70px" src=' + data[i].p4 + '>','<img width="100px" height= "70px" src=' + data[i].p5 + '>','<img width="100px" height= "70px" src=' + data[i].p6 + '>',data[i].time,'<button class="btn btn-primary delete" data-id-id=' + data[i].id + '>Delete</button>','<button class="btn btn-primary schedule" data-id-id=' + data[i].id + '>Schedule</button>']);
});
table.draw();
}
}
})
});

Please try this, the data will be saved in selected variable key = tr index and value equal array list of tr child values,
$(function() {
var selected = { };
$('#tbl tbody').on( 'click', 'td:last-child', function (e) {
var index = $(this).closest("tr").index();
if(Object.keys(selected).length == 2 ){
alert("You can selecto two only");
return;
}
if( selected.hasOwnProperty(index)){
alert("You have already select this");
return;
}
var children = $(this).closest("tr").children();
var childData = [];
selected[index] = [];
for (var i = 0; i < children.length-2; i++) {
img = children[i].querySelector('img');
if(img){
childData.push(img.src);
}else{
childData.push(children[i].innerHTML);}
}
selected[index] = childData ;
console.log(selected);
});
});
the output like this
{
0: ["123", "asd", "123343", "asd"] ,
2: ["13234", "asd", "123343", "asd"]
}
to get the selected values
Object.values(selected) // [ ["123", "asd", "123343", "asd"] , ["13234", "asd", "123343", "asd"] ]
to get the selected tr indexes
Object.keys(selected) // [ 0 , 2 ]
Code will check if the user select more than two rows it will alert , you can change it, if user select two and clicked on row selected before it will not get any alert, you can delete && !selected.hasOwnProperty(index) to alert what ever this selected or not.

assign variable to an individual table cell

I am trying to put images in a table. I have that working, if you click, you cycle through the available options. However, the counter is not cell related, it is a global counter. Is there a way to make a local variable, to keep track of where that individual cell is in the array?
I have tried making a local variable, only to a single cell, but it wasn't working.
Here is the related function in js:
var i = 1;
var table = document.getElementsByTagName('table')[0];
var def = ["tex/white.png", "tex/grass.jpg", "tex/stone.jpg", "tex/water.jpg", "tex/wood.jpg", "tex/lava.jpg"];
table.onclick = function(e) {
var target = (e || window.event).target;
if (target.tagName in { TD: 1, TH: 1 }) {
target.className = "img";
console.log((e || window.event).target);
target.setAttribute('style', 'background-image:' + "url(" + def[i] + ")");
if (i < def.length) {
i++
}
if (i == def.length) {
i = 0;
}
}
};
Here is a working fiddle of what I have done so far:
https://jsfiddle.net/6L0armd4/
The desired result is that I start the array at single cells and it only counts for those cells. At the moment, it always gives the next texture, even when I select a different cell.

A possible solution : using ids to identify each cells, and an object to keep track of which background is currently used for each cells (using their id as key)

you need to make listener event
you may change the color codes to your image path on the below code and avoid any local path image links issue try to use online images direct ones .
var table = document.querySelector('#table')
var selectedCells = table.getElementsByClassName('selected')
table.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
var td = e.target
if (td.tagName !== 'TD') {
return
}
if (selectedCells.length) {
selectedCells[0].className = ''
}
td.className = 'selected'
})
table {
cursor: text;
}
tr {
background-color:white;
}
td {
font-size: 14;
cursor: default;
}
td.selected {
background-color: red;
// replace this with background image tag like this
background-image: url("paper.gif
