DataTable plugin, sort by drop down column

I am using DataTable plugin to manipulate data. 2 columns display drop down fields. I have enabled column sorting and table filtering.

I could sort all the columns except drop down fields columns. Similarly, search doesn't work in drop down fields columns.

I couldn't find any help on datatables for it.

To filter, the only option I could see now is to use like this https://datatables.net/examples/api/multi_filter_select.html

Is there any other possibility?

Thank you for the hint @Daniel My question is actually answered in 2 different posts. I wanted to add sorting of form input fields in dataTable & also wanted filter to be avaialble for the same.

Sorting of data of input fields is explained at http://datatables.net/examples/plug-ins/dom_sort.html

& Filtering of data in input fields is explained at http://jsfiddle.net/3xm5nz95/

I merged them & updated this fiddle. Below is the update fiddle url. http://jsfiddle.net/3xm5nz95/23/

Hope this would help someone.
