I'm enclosing a wiki table that sorts incorrectly when you click the heading to sort the values. The results come out like the following. Notice that identical values (zeroes) aren't even kept together.
0 X 0 0 1 1 1 9
Here is the table in wikitext:
{| class="sortable"
|-
! Bug

| 1
|-
| 1
|-

|-

|-
| 9
|-
| X

| 0

|}This is in MediaWiki 1.28.0.

| jquery.tablesorter: Sort invalid elements as -Infinity | mediawiki/core | master | +12 -12 |
Yeah, anything that isn't valid gets value 0. I've been meaning to change that to -Infinity. Lemme submit that real quick...
Also, whenever you use sortable, you should really just tell it what datatype you expect in the column, using "data-sort-type". That avoids the sorting algorithm from having to guess, which inevitably at some point will go wrong.
