Hi,
this is related to how the DataTables library recognizes numbers and strings.
Currently, number can’t have a comma in them as a thousand separator. If a cell does, it is recognized as a string. And strings are sorted differently than numbers.
The only solution currently is to not use thousand separators, i.e. remove all , from your numbers.
I’m working on a solution (as a WP-Table Reloaded Extension) to allow them in numbers too, but I don’t know yet, when it will be ready.
Best wishes,
Tobias
that makes complete sense, thanks for the prompt reply. If you think you can have the extension completed in the next two weeks, please let me know (and if it can handle inserting a $ sign at the beginning of figures, that would be fantastic but not a show stopper).
Really nice plugin. But..
But looks like it cant sort decimal digits.
I mean digits thats more then 10.
In my table them sorts only by first digit (
Hi,
e-ivanoff, you are experiencing the same thing as described above. Your values in the table are recognized as strings and not numbers and therefore sorted differently.
Can you check if you have anything of the following in your table:
– letters or characters other than numbers 0 to 9
– spaces or blanks or empty cells
– commas
If yes, try removing all of them, please.
Also, please provide a link to the page with your table, and I will have a look at it.
Best wishes,
Tobias
Hi Tobias!

looks like that, but only first column(fist column whith $ symbol) of my table sorts wrong way.
And i don`t understand why.

Hi,
oh, ok. That explains it. Yes, I believe it is because of the cyrillic symbols then. Unfortunately, I don’t know how to fix that, you might need to ask in the Support Forums of the DataTables JavaScript library at http://www.datatables.net.
Best wishes,
Tobias
