How to sort by a hidden value

Hello everyone, I've recently found this awesome tool and I have to say that I like it so much. My issue here is that I'm showing the "name" of an "id-name" table in a column but I want to sort by the "id" and not by the "name" showed. How can it be done? Do I need a hidden column with de "id" value? Give me some code examples please.

Thanks for all and sorry for the possible languaje errors, I'm spanish.

    Hi Mooma,

    You can tell one column to sort based on the data in a different column using the iDataSort ( http://datatables.net/usage/columns#iDataSort ) parameters. There is a code example in the documentation.
