 * Dear TobiasBg.
    Thank you for a lovely / professional script you have dedicated
   to the WP users.
 * In my site, during we sort the tables, the case different (upper vs lower case)
   also considering as seperate values. Can we disable the case sensitiveness.?

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * Sorting is case insensitive by default, as far as I know.
    Can you please post
   a link to the page with the table where this problem happens, so that I can take
   a direct look? Thanks!
 * Regards,
    Tobias

   the WP develop team told me to try to avoid. 🙂
 * OK Tobias. Here is my link running with your powerful script.

 * And, this current view, i alrdy amended all my charctrs with same cases (Upper/
   Lower).
 * But i wanted to avoid in future.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for the link! Now, in which column are you having problems with upper/
   lowercase? I don’t see it…

 * Hi.
    As i mentioned above “And, this current view, i alrdy amended all my charctrs
   with same cases (Upper/Lower).”
 * For reproduce the issue, please follow the **[test link here.](http://eversafe.com.sg/es/?page_id=2450)**
   Please filter the column (Day/Eve).
 * But, i just realized that, the filter column shows as seperated (Day vs DAY).
   But, the filtered result contains both.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for the clarification!
 * Yes, the ColumnFilterWidgets Extension will show the entries separately, but 
   when the filtering or sorting are performed, they “catch” both upper and lower
   case.

 * So, chances to settle as the ColumnFilterWidgets Extension – should show as single
   value, regardless of case sensitive..?

 * Hi,
 * sorry, I don’t know a solution to that 🙁 This would have to be changed in the
   JS code of the ColumnFilterWidgets code from [http://datatables.net/extras/thirdparty/ColumnFilterWidgets/DataTables/extras/ColumnFilterWidgets/](http://datatables.net/extras/thirdparty/ColumnFilterWidgets/DataTables/extras/ColumnFilterWidgets/).
   I didn’t develop that however, so I don’t know how to change it. Sorry.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
