  Use Orthogonal Data to return the number for the sort and type operations. Something like this pseudo code:

      render: function ( data, type, row ) {
          // Return the numeric value for the `sort` and `type` detection operations
          if ( type === 'sort' || type === 'type' ) {
              var val = Number( parse `data` to extract the numeric value )
              return val;
          }
          // Return the original data for the `display` and `filter` operations
          return data;
      }
