Forum:Link rows together in a sortable table?

Hi there everyone. =) I'm trying to make a sortable table that lists several stories, each with individual attributes and a summary for every entry. However, the summary is too long, so I want to give it a separate row beneath the attributes.

The problem with that is that it severely messes up the sorting when you try to sort, as you can see here: Basically, I want the summary row to stick to the entry preceding it without changing order. I've seen it done before, for example on the list of Haruhi episodes on Wikipedia, but I can't for the life of me figure out those templates.

I'm going to make a template for each entry on my wiki eventually. If anyone can help, it'd be greatly appreciated!
