jQuery Tablesorter - sorting by clicking a link

Question

I'm using jQuery Tablesorter to sort a table and everything works as expected. What I'd like to do is add a link above my table that says something along the lines of "Sort by Price" and when the user clicks the link I want the "Price" column to sort. Additionally, if they click it again, it would sort the price the other way. Is this possible?

Thanks! Manoj

From tablesorter.com

$(document).ready(function() { 
    $("table").tablesorter(); 
    $("#trigger-link").click(function() { 
        // set sorting column and direction, this will sort on the first and third column the column index starts at zero 
        var sorting = [[0,0],[2,0]]; 
        // sort on the first column 
        $("table").trigger("sorton",[sorting]); 
        // return false to stop default link action 
        return false; 
    }); 
});
