+/**
+ * Sorts columns by any number, ignoring text. This plugin is useful if you have 
+ * mixed content in a column, but still want to sort by numbers. Any number means
+ *
+ *  - integers, like 42
+ *  - decimal numbers, like 42.42 / 42,42
+ *  - signed numbers, like -42.42 / +42.42 
+ *  - scientific numbers, like 42.42e+10
+ *  - illegal numbers, like 042, which is considered as 42,
+ *  - currency numbers, like €42,00 
+ *
+ * Plain text is ignored; columns with no recognizable numerical content 
+ * is pushed to the bottom of the table, both ascending and descending.
