/**
* An alternative to the formatted number sorting function above (particularly
* useful when considering localisation which uses dots / periods for 10^3
* separation rather than decimal places). Another method of overcoming it
* difficulties of sorting formatted numbers is to have the data to be sorted
* upon separate from the visual data. This sorting function pair will use the
* 'title' attribute of en empty span element (or anything else) to sort
* numerically (for example `<span title="1000000"><span>1'000'000`).
*
* Note that the HTML5 `data-sort` attribute can be [used to supply sorting data
* to DataTables](//datatables.net/manual/orthogonal-data) and is preferable to
* using this method, which is therefore marked as deprecated.
*
* @name Hidden title numeric sorting
* @summary Sort data numerically based on an attribute on an empty element.
* @deprecated

* @example
* $('#example').dataTable( {
* columnDefs: [
* { type: 'title-numeric', targets: 0 }
* ]
* } );
