PHP Datatable currency sorting - php

Question

I got problem with my data table sorting in the currency tab. when i try to sort the currency/price column..
Ex
A - $ 10,0000
B - $ 4,000
C - $ 8,000
In Chrome:
it works fine it displays the correct answer. which is BCA Ascending Order.
In Mozilla and IE:
it doesn't display the correct answer instead it will display this answer ACB Ascending order. I believe it reads the second lowest number since moz and iE reads the $ sign as a part of the string.
Any solution for this?
you may try this sample link that I found
open it in Chrome and Mozilla

I just solve my problem.
Instead of creating a extended .js file for the currency plugin which causes error.. I write code together with the creating the datatable object. something like this:
$(document).ready(function(){
model_select();
$('.data_table').dataTable({
"bJQueryUI": true,
"sPaginationType": "full_numbers",
"bRetrieve":true,
"aoColumnDefs": [
{ "sType": "currency", "aTargets": [ 10 ] }
]
});
// Change this list to the valid characters you want
var validChars = "$£€c0123456789-,";
// Init the regex just once for speed - it is "closure locked"
var str = jQuery.fn.dataTableExt.oApi._fnEscapeRegex("$£€c0123456789-,");
var re = new RegExp('[^'+str+']');
jQuery.fn.dataTableExt.aTypes.unshift(
function ( data )
{
if ( typeof data !== 'string' || re.test(data) ) {
return null;
}
return 'currency';
}
);
});
