This is the sample table from the sorttable.js site.
Code: 
		<table class="sortable">
  <tr>
    <th>Name</th><th>Salary</th><th>Extension</th><th>Start date</th>
    <th>Start date (American)</th>
  </tr>
  <tr><td>Bloggs, Fred</td><td>$12000.00</td>
      <td>1353</td><td>18/08/2003</td><td>08/18/2003</td></tr>
  <tr><td>Turvey, Kevin</td><td>$191200.00</td>
      <td>2342</td><td>02/05/1979</td><td>05/02/1979</td></tr>
  <tr><td>Mbogo, Arnold</td><td>$32010.12</td>
      <td>2755</td><td>09/08/1998</td><td>08/09/1998</td></tr>
  <tr><td>Shakespeare, Bill</td><td>$122000.00</td>
      <td>3211</td><td>12/11/1961</td><td>11/12/1961</td></tr>
  <tr><td>Shakespeare, Hamnet</td><td>$9000</td>
      <td>9005</td><td>01/01/2002</td><td>01/01/2002</td></tr>
  <tr><td>Fitz, Marvin</td><td>$3300</td>
      <td>5554</td><td>22/05/1995</td><td>05/22/1995</td></tr>
</table>
It sorts just like it should.

Here is my table.

The column headers aren't clickable(therefor no sort) like in the first table.
 
Sort by date Sort by votes
What is your clientside source?

ps. Why not sort serverside??

Also, I see you forgot one echo here:
$table_id=$row['table_id'];

Ps. that code makes me dizzy, so I think Ill go lie down

i'm still a noob. I was finaly able to get it to sort put only the first column.

Code: 
<style>
	table.sortable thead {
    background-color:#eee;
    color:#666666;
    font-weight: bold;
    cursor: default;
	cursor: hand;
}
</style>
<script language="javascript" src="sorttable.js">
   function openNewWindow(url) {
    window.open(url,'newPage','scrollbars=no,resizable=no,width=400,height=250');
   }
  </script>
</head>
		<body bgcolor="white">
