GridviewFix is a helper jQuery plugin that solves the compatibility problem in between .NET Gridview and dataTable plugin.
// DATA_TEMPLATE: empty_table
oTest.fnStart( "aoColumns.bUseRendered" );

/* bUseRendered is used to alter sorting data, if false then the original data is used for
 * sorting rather than the rendered data
