jquery datatables sort in javascript nested object

Vote count:

0

The jquery datatables plugin is able to enhance an already existing html-table and is able to read a special data-order tag for providing a different sorting value, as seen here:

        <tr>
            <td>System Architect</td>
            <td data-order="1303686000">Mon 25th Apr 11</td>
            <td data-order="320800">$320,800/y</td>
        </tr>

I am trying the same with a nested javascript object as source, like so

{
    "jobDescription":"System Architect",
    "startDate": {
        "display": "Mon 25th Apr 11",
        "sort": 1303686000
    },
    "salary": {
        "display": "$320,800/y",
        "sort": 320800
    }
},

Anyone who already implemented that?
