jEditable and incorrect column sorting?

Please let me know if I missed documentation about this topic somewhere on this site. Also, I'm mostly using Chrome version 15.0.874.121 m. I briefly tried FF 7.0.1 and I'm having the same problem.

I'm using jEditable for one sortable column in a datatable. I notice that when I change a field then sorting intermittently stops working. More specifically, I can change some entries and sorting still works. Then I change another entry and sorting never works again. I cannot find a method to the madness.

I tried to reproduce the problem using the example at http://datatables.net/examples/api/editable.html. It is reproducible for me in a more consistent way. By consistent, I mean every time I edit an entry in the "Engine version" column, the edited entry never appears where I expect it to appear after sorting. When I edit an entry in the "CSS grade" column, it always appears where I expect it after sorting.

I did not spend much time trying to track down the cause of my problem, and unfortunately I have to shelf work on the datatable for now. However, I do expect to come back and work on this in the future and I wanted to query for input on this issue before I file away my notes for future reference.

Thanks in advance for any input.
