This patch allows users to use use headers which span more than one column in sortable tables.
Currently MediaWiki used .cellIndex to identify the column number that doesn't take account to cells which span more than one column.
In any colspan'ed block of columns, the rows would be sorted by the leftmost column with the rest behaving as unsortable columns.
For an example where this patch would be useful, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nominal)_per_capita my intent would be to have four headers (Country, IMF, World Bank, Cia) over seven columns (Country, IMF rank, IMF figure, World Bank rank, etc...). Rather than the current more confusing layout.
