title: How to get jQuery Tablesorter to sort descending by default?
body: <p>I can't figure this out.  This question was also asked here <a href="http://www.nabble.com/TableSorter-plugin---default-column-sort-DESC-instead--How--to25180761s27240.html#a25180761" rel="noreferrer">http://www.nabble.com/TableSorter-plugin---default-column-sort-DESC-instead--How--to25180761s27240.html#a25180761</a> with no response.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried</p>
  
  <pre><code>    $.tablesorter.defaults.sortInitialOrder = 'desc';
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and altering the jquery.tablesorter.js file to default to 'desc' but it doesn't work.  When I click on the column headers, the first sort is still ascending so the user has to click twice to descend the values.</p>
  
  <p>How can I get Tablesorter to sort by descending by default?</p>
