file-size plugin

Is it possible to sort multiple columns with the same plugin. For example, I have two columns, size and total and they are in MB,KB,GB and I want to be able to sort them both by that plugin. I tried putting in both but the page only sorts the last one and ignores the previous one.

I had to do this to get it to work for now

"columnDefs": [{
    "type": "file-size", 
    targets: -1
    //"type": "file-size", 
//  targets: -2,

    A plug-in cannot sort over multiple columns - you would need to use the DataTables API or options (for example order() to specify a multi-column sort.

    It is however quite possible to use the same plug-in for multiple columns, each sorting independently. If that doesn't work for you please link to at test case showing the problem.
