Topic: Sorting on dataset species table

Hi,

We have just noticed that when you sort the species table within the dataset page of the gateway by 'Number of Observations' , it sorts alphanumerically rather than numerically.  E.g. 99 is larger than 982.

Re: Sorting on dataset species table

Thanks for the report, this doesn't happen all the time but only when there is a species count of > 999 as the page numbers come out as 1,000 (rather than 1000) which confuses the table as it doesn't understand how to sort numbers with commas in them so it reverts to sorting alphabetically.
