TableSorter only sorting visible records

[ange]

I tried to find online if anyone else has experienced this problem before but can't seem to find any posts regarding it.

I have about 40k records that I am displaying with TableSorter. What I noticed is that when I tried to sort by a column, only the 1000 visible records get sorted, (as opposed to the entire 40k records getting sorted then displaying the top 1000.) Is this a design flaw/bug or am I missing something here?

Thanks!

I have encountered the same issue.  I verified that the issue is with the Tablesorter custom visual.   I have a standard Table visual that does show all records in the (same) table that I am using the tbale sorter on.  It owuld be nice if the BI team can verify that this is true or not, part of development process.  I even loked at the Github repository that is open, but didn't see any docuemntation indicating yes/no.

I can't post a scereen shot, as it has confidential cleint information. But the isssue is DEFINITLEY with the Tablesorter custom visual.  I think a wiser product decision may be to make the Table visual sortbale for each column.......kinda like Excel....another microsoft product

@ange are you talking about the sort button in a table?

please post screenshots of your issue

NO, not the sort button in a table.  That only sorts ascending or descending. The filter in the Tablesorter custome visual allows you to look up a value or a string that may be in the variable values (character)

I will try to upload a screenshot some time today. I am talking about the custom visualization called "Table Sorter". It is very similar to the built-in table, but has a few more features.
