   * This plug-in will strip out non-numeric formatting characters such that a
  
   * formatted number (for example 1,000,000) can be detected automatically and
  
   * sorted numerically. Note that characters a-z are not automatically removed,
  
   * otherwise there is a risk of detecting columns as numeric which should not
  
   * be.
  
   *
  
   * DataTables 1.10+ has formatted number type detection and sorting abilities
  
   * built-in. As such this plug-in is marked as deprecated, but might be useful
  
   * when working with old versions of DataTables.
