+ * The following plug-in uses a modified version of the [naturalSort() function by Jim
+ * Palmer](http://www.overset.com/2008/09/01/javascript-natural-sort-algorithm-with-unicode-support) to provide natural sorting in DataTables.

+ *  @name portsort.js
+ *  @summary Sort network device port names with a mix of numbers and letters with modified natural sort.
