i am using a table with alternate row color and the same table has sorting functionality with jquery.tablesorter.js. as follow.

css can be applied for alternative row like.

              $("tr:even",$(this)).css({'backgroundColor':'#ffffff'});
              $("tr:odd",$(this)).css({'backgroundColor':'#ebf0f5'});

sorting can be done by

             function sortTable(tableID)
                {
                     $("#"+tableID).tablesorter();
                }

First time alternative row color works fine.

But When I sort the records the format has been changed. and alternative row color is not working.

Any help will be appreciated.

Use the zebra widget:

$("table").tablesorter({widgets: ['zebra']})
