Hi,

In the following url: "http://www.rlmm.org/ojs-files/search.php" , you will find the table page using Datatables...

I have been trying to sort the last column (pages), but it has been impossible. This column is tricky, why:

1.- It will be fill with hyphenated numbers (pages), ex: 20-29
2.- It could be empty.

This is the debub code: ajabis

I have been trying several answers from others topics and questions here at the forum..

I appreciate all the help I could receive..

Thanks for you splendid work,

Best Regards,

Tom

    You'd need to create a sorting plug-in function that would sort the data based on what logic you want:

    Hi Allan,

    Thanks for your answer. I used the natural sorting plug-in and it is working flawlessly...
