This page here:
http://datatables.net/plug-ins/type-detection

Has the following statement
"As an example the code below makes use of the numeric comma type detection and sorting functions, saved into two different files for clarity (live example):"

However when you go to http://datatables.net/examples/plug-ins/sorting_plugin.html
if you look at the source the plugins are not saved in two different files for clarity.

I think it would be handy if you made these two files directly available for download.

Thanks,
Chris.

    Thanks for the feedback. The point in not including them in a separate file was that the extra file would require an extra HTTP request - which is slow. And I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up with new developers including a lot of different files that should really be combined.

    Having said that, if you want it, all the plug-ins are available as individual files here: https://github.com/DataTables/Plugins/

    As a side note... Why not include currency sorting, and detection as standard in the main DataTables script? It seems a significant number of people are going to want that, and they don't seem particularly large scripts?

    Thanks for all your work by the way. DataTables is excellent!

    It is (will be) in v1.10. HTML number type as well. :-)
