Column filter sorting

Good day, I have the following code:

[table id=1 datatables_columnfilter=true datatables_dom=”BWlfrtipB” datatables_buttons=”colvis,excel” datatables_columnfilterwidgets=true datatables_columnfilterwidgets_exclude_columns=”2,4,5,6,7″ datatables_columnfilterwidgets_separator=”,” automatic_url_conversion=true /]

One of my columns ‘3’ is a location column which I would like to display in an alphabetical order. Please assist. Thanks.
