force numerical sorting #27

Hello! I am sorry if this was covered somewhere but I can't find an answer.

I am using columns to build some simple data tables, and it seems like the default sort treats everything as a string. so I sort by 'count' DESC (arrow down)

screen shot 2016-06-01 at 2 37 34 pm

and I get 98, 950, 900, and 90 in that order. I need that to look like 950, 900, 98 and then 90.

Am I right to think that the only way to do this is is to override the default sorting by writing a custom plugin? Or is there a way to specify type in the schema somewhere? Thanks in advance.

Bump! Has anyone else had this issue?

OK! ALERT FELLOW JAVASCRIPT GRAPH MAKERS! This product is obsolete. It is not supported and you should probably move to bootgrid. I have removed all of my columns class calls, implemented the bootstrap framework, and now use bootgrid as a very simple js call on ACTUAL HTML tables, as opposed to using this product with csv files.

I could not be happier, and you should all realize that this WAS a great product, but whose time is now done. Good luck to you all.
