title: Any jQuery plugins for tables fixed header and sorting together?
body: <p>I've been looking at ways to make a table have a fixed header especially in IE8. I noticed that most jquery plugins can achieve this but in doing so they split the table into two sections usually 2 separate divs one containing the thead stuff and the other tbody</p>
  
  <p>This works fantastic but how would I go about adding sorting to the table. Most jquery plugins I found only work when the table contains a thead and tbody in one.</p>
  
  <p>Are there any jquery plugins that can do this? Ideally it would be great if the jQuery plugin like tablesorter can be given an id for thead an one for tbody </p>
  
  <p>I did come across this demo which is exactly what I need but it's using Prototype instead of jquery </p>
