sorting - Jquery sort table data

Question

I got struck in sorting tds in table using jquery.

My Demo fiddle

How can I call it for any table with id in my project?

var $sort = this;
var $table = $('#mytable');
var $rows = $('tbody > tr',$table);
$rows.sort(function(a, b) {
    var keyA = $('td:eq(0)',a).text();
    var keyB = $('td:eq(0)',b).text();
    if($($sort).hasClass('asc')) {
        return (keyA > keyB) ? 1 : 0;
    } else {
        return (keyA < keyB) ? 1 : 0;
    }
});

Something like this

function sortTable(table, order) {
    var asc   = order === 'asc',
        tbody = table.find('tbody');

    tbody.find('tr').sort(function(a, b) {
        if (asc) {
            return $('td:first', a).text().localeCompare($('td:first', b).text());
        } else {
            return $('td:first', b).text().localeCompare($('td:first', a).text());
        }
    }).appendTo(tbody);
}

could be called on any table like this

sortTable($('#mytable'),'asc');
