How can jQuery code be adjusted to improve sorting of IDs in PHP DataTable?

To improve sorting of IDs in PHP DataTable using jQuery, you can adjust the sorting function to treat the IDs as numeric values rather than strings. This can be achieved by specifying the data type for the column containing IDs in the DataTable initialization. By setting the "type" option to "num" for the column with IDs, DataTables will recognize the values as numbers and sort them accordingly.

$('#example').DataTable({
    "columns": [
        null,
        null,
        { "type": "num" }, // Specify the data type as numeric for the column with IDs
        null
    ]
});
