jQuery tablesorter - Named Numbers Parser

# tablesorter

## Named Numbers Parser

### Flexible client-side table sorting

Back to documentation

NOTE!

- In v2.25.5, added an example that uses the huge number parser.
  - The largest number (`MAX_SAFE_INTEGER`) that javascript can handle is `9,007,199,254,740,991`.
  - Anything larger and the number gets rounded off, so that's why this parser was created.
- In v2.22.0, this parser will now ignore commas, periods and quotes adjacent to the named number word (e.g. "10 million, three...").
- This parser will convert named numbers into appropriate values so they are sorted correctly.
- Named numbers include values:
  - zero to twenty; by one ("one", "two", "three", ..., "nineteen", "twenty")
  - twenty to hundred; by ten ("twenty", "thirty", "forty", ... "ninety", "hundred")
  - thousand (1e3) to duotrigintillion (1e99); by 10^(3n+3) value ("thousand", "million", "billion", ... "untrigintillion", "duotrigintillion")
  - googl (1e100)
- Even bigger named values will need to be manually added to the parser code; see this wikipedia page for more names.
