Plugins/sorting/numeric-comma.js

/**
 * It is not uncommon for non-English speaking countries to use a comma for a
 * decimal place. This sorting plug-in shows how that can be taken account of in
 * sorting by adding the type 'numeric-comma' to DataTables. A type detection 
 * plug-in for this sorting method is provided below.
 * 
 * Please note that the 'Formatted numbers' type detection and sorting plug-ins
 * offer greater flexibility that this plug-in and should be used in preference
 * to this method.
 *  @name Commas for decimal place
 *  @anchor numeric_comma
