Tablesorter: €/decimal/thousands sorting problem

Tablesorter: €/decimal/thousands sorting problem

Hi there,

After trying any related custom parser I could find without success (<th class="{sorter: 'digit'}">...</th> doesn't work either) I really hope someone here can help me. I use the tablesorter plugin for a HTML table and one column with price vslues (€) just doesn't sort in the correct order.

The default order is this

6.990 €
18.910 €
20.240 €
... €
68.440 €

but sorting results in this ( sort down)

18.910 €
20.240 €
... €
39.990 €
6.990 €
68.440 €

or this (sort up)

68.440 €
6.990 €
39.990 €

... € 
20.240 €
18.910 €

So essentially  6.990 € is never sorted correctly. Removing the € (I also tried "Euro") from the value/cell results in a correct sorting order.

As mentioned I already tried any related currency or decimal custom parser I could find, maybe this is a "special" issue...?

Many thanks in advance for any help!

Cheers,
Thomas
