Sorting with large numbers
Sorting with large numbers
Hi
I have tables with large numbers and have a problem with sorting. Using version 1.10.16.
Sorting this list with a thousand separator and using columnDefs: [ { "type": "num-fmt", targets: 0 } - no problem
1.800
1.800
1.800
160.000
160.000
180.000
180.000
180.000
180.000
Sorting larger numbers with no format - no problem
18000
18000
18000
1600000
1600000
1800000
1800000
1800000
1800000
Sorting larger numbers with thousands separators, I get this.
1.800.000
18.000
1.600.000
18.000
1.800.000
18.000
1.600.000
1.800.000
1.800.000
Still using columnDefs: [ { "type": "num-fmt", targets: 0 }
There is no html in the columns, only the number with the thousand separators.
Can someone provide me with some information or help on this matter.
Thanks in advance, Ingvar

I see that "Supported built-in thousands separators are ' and ,." in https://datatables.net/reference/option/columns.type
Changing the project culture so the format has "," instead of "." for a thousand separator makes the sorting correct on large numbers.
So, any workaround to make the sorting work with "." as a separator?
