/**
 * Sorts a column containing chapter numbers. This can be most useful when
 * using DataTables for a book or book reference style application. By
 * default, five sections are supported (a.b.c.d.e) with each being upto
 * four-digits long. Those defaults are controlled by constMaxSections and
 * constMaxSectionDigits respectively, and can be easily changed
 *
 *  @name chapter
 *  @summary Sort book chapters numerically
