So I removed the formatting from the numbers and the sorter works fine, but the large numbers are very difficult to read, any idea on how to format the numbers as above (i.e. 1,000,000,000 w/ thousands commas) and still have the sorter work?
That seemed like the logical way to do it to me as well, however the ajax sort function does not work correctly when the data is formatted using number_format (see screen shots in first post)…
