Sorting of footable column of integers rendering unexpected results due to string sort

Question

I am using footable.js plugin to sort a table in my MVC application. On clicking the row header for a column containing integers values they are being sorted as follows:

81, 811, 776, 700, 70

Is there anything I can do to this library that would enable the sorting of integer columns to be sorted on value:

811,776,700,81, 70

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

data-type="numeric" added to column sorted this

Answer 2

In newer releases, data-type="number" will do it.
