data table search

I have a list of bigint values and I am displaying them in IP format
eg: {167772160} will be displayed as 10.0.0.0 in the table.
But if I search for something like 10.0.0.0 , no search results are displayed.

This is my code where intToIP is the js function which converts int to IP format.

"aoColumns": [
{
"mData": "networkAddress",
"mRender": function(data, type, row) {

return intToIP(data);
},

},



My understanding is used to manipulate data for display (including filtering, sorting etc)
In this case ,Should something else added so that the sorting works.

Thanks
