 * Hi,
 * this is due to the way, how strings and numbers are sorted. Strings are sorted
   differently than numbers.
 * As the sorting is done by the DataTables JavaScript Library from [http://www.datatables.net](http://www.datatables.net),
   you will need to manually write a sorting function that knows how to treat the
   values in your cell, so that it does not sort them as strings. Unfortunately 
   this is not very easy 🙁
 * Best wishes,
    Tobias
