I think you are missing the final "reset" function to sort the table. The desc code will not work because the order must be switched.

Code:

$('.sort').click(function (e) {
    var $sort = this;
    var $table = $('#mytable');
    var $rows = $('tbody > tr', $table);
    $rows.sort(function (a, b) {
        var keyA = $('td', a).text();
        var keyB = $('td', b).text();
        if ($($sort).hasClass('asc')) {
            return (keyA > keyB) ? 1 : 0;
        } else {
            return (keyA > keyB) ? 0 : 1;
        }
    });
    $.each($rows, function (index, row) {
        $table.append(row);
    });
    e.preventDefault();
});

UPDATE

More in general your function can be:

function sortTable($table,order){
    var $rows = $('tbody > tr', $table);
    $rows.sort(function (a, b) {
        var keyA = $('td', a).text();
        var keyB = $('td', b).text();
        if (order=='asc') {
            return (keyA > keyB) ? 1 : 0;
        } else {
            return (keyA > keyB) ? 0 : 1;
        }
    });
    $.each($rows, function (index, row) {
        $table.append(row);
    });
}

sortTable($('#mytable'),'asc')
