Datatables - how to ignore HTML tags for sorting?

Noodles12

I need assistance sorting the first column. I have a column with a mix of alpha numeric values. I am ignoring the alpha values and only sorting by numeric values. However if a column has line breaks or

tags, it messes up the sorting. Please see the code here.

In my table, for example, AA-EC-2019-82 AA-EC-2019-81 AA-EC-2019-71 should come after "AA-EC-2019-58" if sorted ascending. How can I achieve this? Thanks.

You can try the Natural sorting plugin. You may need to modify it to fit your needs.
