A10 sorting before A1

Arcnail

Sorry, if this has already been answered, searched for about an hour and couldn't find anything.

Basically I have a list of table rows that I would like to sort. Ultimately what happens is this..

A10:Program Name
A11:Program Name
A1:Program Name
A2:Program Name
A3:Program Name
...
A7:Program Name
A8:Program Name
A9:Program Name

I figured just putting a 0 in front of the single digit as such 'A01' would solve it, but it doesn't.

Any insight as to what I'm doing wrong here. I'm new to this (clearly ;).

Thanks.

Look here for the API.

Specifically take a look at the natural sort plug-in.

The issue is that your data is a combination of string and numeric data, while the built in sorting functions in DataTables do one or the other - not both.
