Did you look at the documentation? Here is an example of how you would disable some columns that use tablesorter. You can pass a headers object in which you can specify which columns are disabled.

An alternate method is to add class="{sorter: false}" to the cells on which you want to disable the sorting.

Edit

You can use $.tablesorter.addParser() method to define custom sorting (see the jsFiddle example above).

Code

$(document).ready(function() {
    $.tablesorter.addParser({
        id: 'custom_sort_function',
        is: function(s) {
            return false;
        },
        format: function(s) {
            // the € symbol causes the tablesorter to treat the value as a string
            // remove it and let the tablesorter treat it as numeric
            // use /\u20AC/ instead of /€/ if regex does not work as expected
            return s.replace(/€/, '');
        },
        type: 'numeric'
    });
    $("#pikavipit").tablesorter({
        headers: {
            0: {
                sorter: false
            },
            1: {
                sorter: false
            },
            2: {
                sorter: 'custom_sort_function'
            },
            3: {
                sorter: false
            },
            4: {
                sorter: false
            },
            5: {
                sorter: false
            },
            6: {
                sorter: false
            },
            7: {
                sorter: false
            },
            8: {
                sorter: false
            }
        }
    });
});
