 * I have the infinity loop symbol (∞) in a column, but when I set the column to
   integer this gets replaced with a 0 (zero).
 * How can add the infinity loop to a integer column so it can be sorted?
 * Thanks

 * Hi there,
 * Unfortunately it’s not possible out of the box. You can override the behaviour
   of the rendering/output but it would require some coding both on front-end and
   back-end. Basically you can choose some really large integer that will be rendered
   as a ∞, but still read as this large integer by JS, then this would work.
