Datatables Sorting Plugin Needed or help with custom script

cfsinc commented on Nov 30, 2022

I have a column that has a letter like P then a space and a number

I need to be able to custom sort the clolumn first by the letter and then by the number after the letter.

not sure if this natural sorting plugin will work from datatables but i have no idea how to apply it?

Thank you for the training. To recap how to add a 3rd party plugin from datatables put the plugin in directory koolreport/datagrid/DataTables directory newplugin.js then call the plugin from plugins option. Then inspect network, JS in browser to see that the plugin is loaded.

Yes, that should be the method. After making sure the custom plugin is loaded, you can now set its options in DataTables::create(...).

Another note is that you can use a sub-directory for each plugin. Says you put "newplugin.js" inside "datagrid/DataTables/mynewplugin", then to load it:

DataTables::create([
    ...
    "plugins" => ["mynewplugin/newplugin.js"],
    ...
]);
