What it means is that you can't use <script></script> at that point in a 
table.

However, you don't need to put script in that point in the table at all.

If you want a script to run when the document body is loaded, it may be 
better to put it in the document head script section as a function, and 
then use the onload attribute of the body to call it.

In addition, your calls to the javascript functions from links will not 
work that way. If you want to call a javascript function from a link, you 
need to specify the javascript protocol and the function, eg:

<a href="javascript:function();" ....>link text</a>

However, it is often just as easy to call Javascript functions using the 
onclick handler of a span or some other element.

<span onclick="function();" ....>text</span>

Finally, sorting the data will not change the table, you need to 
(re)populate the table with the sorted data afterwards.

I've just edited my example, if you looked at it earlier you may want to 
look again - I realised I was doing extra work manipulating the table 
that wasn't needed.
