 * Hello,
 * I really appreciate the improved functionality provided by the extensions. I’m
   currently running ColumnFilterWidges and ColVis and both work perfectly.
 * Unfortunately, I still can’t get formatted numbers to sort correctly, as seen
   here – tinyurl.com/mbns53x
 * I’ve disabled my js minify plugin, but I don’t know how to next approach the 
   problem. Any ideas?

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * The automatic detection of the formats doesn’t seem to be working, so that you
   will need to set the data format manually. Please try adding this to the “Custom
   Commands” textfield on the “Edit” screen of the table:
 *     ```
       "aoColumnDefs": [ { "sType": "formatted-num", "aTargets": [ 6,7 ] } ]
       ```
   
 * Regards,
    Tobias
