I have a grid Panel with 4 columns, one of these is numeric (number up to 4 digit), and I would like to sort the row by this colum. My problem is Ext JS sorts the rows as if the column was textual, so 5 is sorted after 3000.
I tried to use a numberColumn instead of a normal column (specifying the x-type in the columns of the GridPanel), but it doesn't change the sorting.
Thus I tried to format the numbers so 5 would appear like 0005, and 0005 would be before 3000. But the format options of the numberColumn do not appear to let me specify a minimal number of digit (in Java, using NumberFormat, 0000 would work, but here it doesn't).
So I put a renderer to force my number to appear with 4 digits, it works, but it seems that the sort method use the values before beeing rendered, wich is quite logical.
I'm stuck after trying all my ideas, does anyone have a clue?
