Small enhancement to site demos: sort by hidden title numeric allowing negative values

Hello,

I've been playing with this great tool in the last week to integrate sortable tables in a intranet site, and I sort of solved a small problem with the demo code.

The function that allows to sort by "hidden title numeric"

[code]var x = a.match(/title="*([0-9]+)/)[1];[/code]

(and all its relatives in the same page) should be changed into:

[code]var x = a.match(/title="*(-?[0-9]+)/)[1];[/code]

(note the '-?' prepended in the regexp) to allow proper sorting with negative values.


Let's get into less (???) serious stuff:

My compliments for this great and precious tool!
I discovered the JQuery family last week and I'm really amazed with the results I could get! I ignored HTML/Javascript/AJAX developing for a long time, but a skype friend recently told me "why don't you check jquery"... well after that my has really changed (NO, I'm not talking about prosthetics/blue pills/fat burning miracles)

    Hi SyBorg,

    Thanks for the suggestion - a very good one :-). I've just updated the hidden title sorting plug-in now: http://datatables.net/plug-ins/sorting#hidden_title

    Thanks also for your compliments about DataTables. It's really great to hear that people such as yourself are enjoying using it and finding it useful!

    Regards,
    Allan
