confusion with currency sorting

Hi. I am having some trouble with currency sorting. I am feeling a bit dense, but I don't understand what the docs are saying, and what exactly I need to do.

- For the type detection - is there a file to download and include, or is the code in the snippet the code that would be included?
- For the sorting itself - same question.

- When and where do I call this code? Do I have to specify which columns are currency values?

- Is there a single spot where I can see the code as it needs to be, spelled out and in action?

and finally
- is there any plan to roll this functionality into the main library? It seems that with such a large and powerful tool, the ability to recognize and sort some of the most common data types should be automatic...

If it helps, my debug info for the table I want to use this on is here:
http://debug.datatables.net/egupig

My attempts at using currency recognition and sorting are not present in that info.
Nothing I have tried has accomplished anything, and I am clearly missing something basic.

Help? :)
