			 *  fnLocalSorting = function(a,b){
			 *    var iTest;
			 *    iTest = oSort['string-asc']('data11', 'data12');
			 *      if (iTest !== 0)
			 *        return iTest;
			 *    iTest = oSort['numeric-desc']('data21', 'data22');
			 *    if (iTest !== 0)
			 *      return iTest;
			 *    return oSort['numeric-asc']( aiOrig[a], aiOrig[b] );
			 *  }
			 * Basically we have a test for each sorting column, if the data in that column is equal,
			 * test the next column. If all columns match, then we use a numeric sort on the row
			 * positions in the original data array to provide a stable sort.
			 *
			 * Note - I know it seems excessive to have two sorting methods, but the first is around
			 * 15% faster, so the second is only maintained for backwards compatibility with sorting
			 * methods which do not have a pre-sort formatting function.
