Plugins/sorting/signed-num.js

/**
 * Although DataTables' internal numeric sorting works no problem on negative
 * numbers, it does not accept positively signed numbers. This plug-in will
 * sort just such data numerically.
 *
 *  @name Fully signed numbers sorting 
 *  @summary Sort data numerically with a leading `+` symbol (as well as `-`).

 *  @example
 *    $('#example').dataTable( {
 *       columnDefs: [
 *         { type: 'signed-num', targets: 0 }
 *       ]
 *    } );
