 * I have a table with a column of runtimes formatted like ‘101m’. I downloaded 
   the sorting plugin, but the code on the site doesn’t work. I’m not sure how to
   edit the code to get the desired effect.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * For this format, you’d have to add a “Custom Command” as mentioned on the Extension’s
   web page. Did you try that?
    Can you please post a link to the page with the 
   table where this problem happens, so that I can take a direct look? Thanks!

 * I copied the
 * > “columnDefs”: [ { “type”: “formatted-num”, “targets”: [ 2, 3 ] } ]
 *  bit and just replaced the column number. I didn’t know if anything else was 
   meant to be changed.
 * My table is here: [http://theyshootzombies.com/ghf1000/full-list/](http://theyshootzombies.com/ghf1000/full-list/)

 * Hi,
 * yes, that’s the code that I was referring to, and from what I can see, you adjusted
   it correctly. However, the DataTables Sorting Plugins Extension’s JavaScript 
   file is not loaded in the page.
    This likely means that you did not activate 
   the Extension on the “Plugins” page of WordPress. Could you please check that?

 * D’oh! I didn’t even think to check that. It’s working fine now 🙂 Thanks for 
   helping and for the quick response!
