YUI 3 expert needed

[Ramsesx]

Hi, I tried to set up a sorted DataTable using YUI 3, on YUI 2 there was a way using formatter:YAHOO.widget.DataTable.formatNumber to get numbers sorted right.
But on YUI 3 this doesn?t work or I don?t know how to implement it.

For example, this pre-sorted data:
Code:

YUI().use("datatable-sort", function(Y) {
    var cols = [
        {key:"Company", label:"Click to Sort Column A", sortable:true},
        {key:"Number", label:"Not Sortable Column B", sortable:true},
        {key:"Contact", label:"Click to Sort Column C", sortable:true}
    ],
    presortedData = [
        {Company:"Acme Company", Number:"8", Contact:"John Jones"},
        {Company:"Company Bee", Number:"100", Contact:"Sally Spencer"},
        {Company:"ABC Company", Number:"124", Contact:"John Miles"},
        {Company:"Company BCF", Number:"80", Contact:"Sally Spader"},
        {Company:"Company Blue", Number:"94", Contact:"Robin Smith"}
    ],
    table = new Y.DataTable.Base({
        columnset: cols,
        recordset: presortedData,
        summary: "Contacts list",
        caption: "This table loads with presorted data"
    }).plug(Y.Plugin.DataTableSort, {
            lastSortedBy: {
                field: "Company",
                dir: "asc"
            }
        })
      .render("#presorted");
});

I would like to have the numbers sorted like:
8
80
94
100
124

I?m not familiar with java code, so please keep it simple. Any help would be great, thank you.

Why not use jquery?

You just need to take the quotes out from around the numbers (in the presortedData array initialization), so they'll be numbers instead of strings.

(BTW I'm not a YUI 3 expert, I was just looking at an example when I happened to notice that their numbers weren't inside quotes.)

Looks promising, I'll test it out, thanks.

Haven't expected to be that an easy solution Thanks a lot.
