Jquery sort table column by checkbox state

Question

I have a datatable that has a column called Waive Fee with checkboxes. The column needs to be sortable, i.e. when the column header is clicked, all the checkboxes that are checked needs to bubble up or bubble down. Is there a way in Jquery to do this, like calling a function on mouse event on the header and then some logic inside this function.

Please advise. Thanks
