body: <p>In my project I've created a dataTable, Everything is working fine except one particular case.</p>

  <p><strong>EDIT:</strong></p>
  
  <p>i know if i use sType="html" and version(<strong>v 1.9.0</strong>) as suggested by <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12372055/datatable-1-9-3-searching-issue-prevent-data-table-from-considering-href-value">DataTable 1.9.3 searching issue - prevent Data Table from considering href value - </a> it is resolved </p>
  
  <p>but i want custom sorting by dataTables sorting plug-in that column, so is it possible to use sType="html" which will strip HTML tags from a search string, and my custom sorting plugin together, is it possible to have multiple sType defined for one column's  sType?</p>
  
  <p>consider this link, it use dataTables sorting plug-in for sorting,</p>

  <p>in that example how can i use sType="html" so my datatable do not search the text inside the href with in the anchor tag.</p>
  
  <p>Hope you understood my issue. Any help will be much appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>I'm using version DataTable 1.9.4 because in lower version i got error regarding dataTables sorting plug-in.</p>
