Orderable with a Function

greggreggreg

I have a happy working table:

                                            serverSide: true,
                                            columns: [
                                                {
                                                    title : "Name",
                                                    data: "name"

                                                },{
                                                    title : "Address",
                                                    data: function (row) {
                                                        if (row.number !== null) {
                                                            ret = row.number + ' ' + row.street + ' ' + row.type + ', ' row.suburb;
                                                            return ret;
                                                        } else {
                                                            return "";
                                                        }
                                                    }
                                                }

]

But I would like to make my Address Orderable. It seems when I am using a function, this becomes difficult. Is there a way to do this?

(note: this is not actually my data fields, but its the easiest way to explain it)

Always the case, work it out after posting.
