How to use alphanumeric sort in datatable column?

vdubey

I am using datatable where the first column is alphanumeric and is rendered as string. Following is the sample data rendered for the first column when using dataTable jquery plugin:
ABC NJ000100
ABC NJ0003001
ABC NJ0005555
ABC NJ000776
ABC NJ0008677
ABC NJ0009001
ABC NJ0009871
ABC NJ000987

However, the expected order is as follows:

ABC NJ000100
ABC NJ000776
ABC NJ000987
ABC NJ0003001
ABC NJ0005555
ABC NJ0008677
ABC NJ0009871
ABC NJ0009001

I tried using natural plugin along with dataTable as follows, but that didn't help.
$(document).ready(function() {

$('#searchResults').dataTable({
"bAutoWidth": false,
"aoColumns": [
{ "sWidth": "10%" },
{ "sWidth": "10%" },
{ "sWidth": "20%", "sType": "natural"},
{ "sWidth": "20%" },
{ "sWidth": "20%" },
{ "sWidth": "10%" },
{ "sWidth": "10%" }
],
"aoColumnDefs": [
{ "bSortable": false, "aTargets": [ 4 ] },
{ "bSortable": false, "aTargets": [ 6 ] }
]
});
});
