Today, Dandelion-Datatables uses the built-in DataTables type detection, i.e. columns are automatically scanned at initialization time for the type of data it contains, which in turn allows DataTables to apply the require type of sorting function.
For now, only three built-in types are supported (string, date and numeric)

See http://dandelion-forum.48353.n6.nabble.com/Is-it-possible-to-format-data-td233.html

Ideas:

• support other built-in sorting plugins
• try a kind of sortProperty attribute similar to DisplayTag's one

The provided implementation of the Natural sort algorithm should fit most cases. If not, more sort types will be added in minor releases.
