v2.0 sorting cells as numbers

i have been looking at the grid.html page in the QuickRef directory, it seems the sorting is done alphabetically, so the sorting of columns employees, $sales and market cap. are not correct. is there anyway to sort them numerically? thanks

it would be nice if the sorting was based on the defined column type, so if the column is defined, it sorts the way mango is describing.

What about implementing your own sorting model?

Hi Alex,

We have just switched over to AW2.0 from 1.0 and experiencing problem while sorting numeric fields/columns. But was never been a problem in 1.0.

Any tip? Thanks in advance.

You have to specify the format of the cell.

var number = new AW.Formats.Number;
obj.setCellFormat(number, 2);
