Column Filter doesn't work with hyperlink?

cooldt

In my datatable, I am using columnFilter add-on and first column (ID) data has hyperlink. Hyperlink navigates to expected page but filter for this particular column (ID) doesnt't work. Any help is much appreciated. Below is my code

    <script>

        var dataSetString = $('#hiddenData').attr('value');
        var dataSet = eval(dataSetString);

        $(document).ready(function() {

           var table = $('#example').dataTable( {

                "data": dataSet,
                "aoColumns": [
                            { "title": "Id"},
                            { "title": "Issue Date" },
                            { "title": "Expiry Date" },
                            { "title": "Area" }
                ],
                "columnDefs": [
                               //title column has hyperlinks
                               {
                                   "render": function ( data, type, row ) {
                                       return '<a href="#{request.contextPath}/module/misc/module/search/titleDetails.jsf?titleId=' + data + '"><i class="fa fa-external-link"></i> ' + data + '</a>' ;
                                   },
                                   "targets": 0
                               }
                ],
                "order": [[ 0, "desc" ]]
            } );

            table.columnFilter({ sPlaceHolder: "head:before",
                aoColumns: [ {type: "number"},
                             {type: "number"},
                             {type: "number"},
                             {type: "number"}


                           ]

            });

        } );

    </script>

You can check out my yadcf plugin for datatables, it got 10 types of diff' filters and plenty of features, go over the showcase and see if you find something that you need (docs are in the js file itself)

Thanks for you help.
Resolved it myself. Just change type to sType for that column
