  Use Orthogonal data. Use columns.render is shown in the Computed Values docs to return the unsigned number for the sort operation.

  Thanks, not clear how to return return the unsigned number for the sort operation and how it can sort in right order my values.
  How it looks for me now:

    <script type="text/javascript">
      $(document).ready(function() {
        $('#my_function').DataTable( {
            ajax: {"url": location.origin + '/api/v1/test_url/',
                   "dataSrc": ""},
            bPaginate: false,
            columns: [
                  {data:"results",
                   render: function ( data, type, row ) {
                          if ( type === 'sort' ) {
                                  return (data >>> 0).toString(2);
                          }
                          return data;
                  }},
                  ]
                } );
            });
    </script>
  

  What is wrong here?

  toString() wouldn't do it, you need Math.abs() - see here :

          render: function(data, type) {
            if (type === 'sort') {
              return Math.abs(data);
            }
            
            return data;
          }
