 * Hello
    I have made a table with some high numbers in it, but it doesn’t sort 
   the figures into the correct order. It puts £6.750.000 higher than £50.000.000,
   and £360.000 above £17.500.000 Can you help please? Thank you

 * Hi,
 * this happens because you actually did not put numbers into the table, but strings.
   which are sorted differently.
    You will need to tell the DataTables JavaScript
   library (which offers the sorting) specifically that you are having currency 
   values in your cells, which however requires some programming (see [http://www.datatables.net](http://www.datatables.net)).
 * The easiest way would be to simply remove the £ sign and the dots from your cells.
   You could e.g. put the £ in the table header row.
    Then the sorting will work
   as expected.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
