Sorting with a hyperlink

looafunk

Hi guys,
I'm trying to use datatables with asp.net. I have a link button places inside each "". When it comes to sorting the data it goes horribly wrong and does, 1, 10,11,12,13,14,15 etc..

Is there a way i can configure the datatable to sort by the text stored in the button link?

here's my code,thanks!!




<%# Eval("Number") %>

Internet
Explorer 4.0
Win 95+

I'm just using the basic init

$(document).ready(function() {
$('#example').dataTable();
});

you can use this code....on click of button

[code]$(document).ready(function() {
var oTable = $('#example').dataTable();
$('#buttonId').click(function(){
oTable.fnSort(columnNo);
});
}); [/code]

Which version of DataTables are you using? v1.7+ will automatically strip HTML tags from the sort, so I'm going to guess that you are using 1.6 or before - in which case you can either upgrade :-), or make use of sType and set it to 'html' for the column you want: http://datatables.net/usage/columns#sType
