sortFunction given a and b as is, filterFunction is given string

[yoiang]

Hey, thanks so much for the work on this project, it's a charm.

I have one question regarding implementation:

If one provides a column a sortFunction that function is sent a and b (left and right) exactly how the values have been given (

reactable/src/reactable/table.jsx

Lines 325 to 329 in 8e386ac

	if (currentSort.direction === 1) {
	return this._sortable[currentSort.column](keyA, keyB);
	} else {
	return this._sortable[currentSort.column](keyB, keyA);
	}

)

On the other hand if one provides a column a filterFunction that function is sent contents a string, always (

reactable/src/reactable/table.jsx

Line 280 in 8e386ac

if (this._filterable[filterColumn](extractDataFrom(data, filterColumn).toString(), filter)) {

)

Is there a reason for this difference? It would be great to preserve contents' type to match sortFunction, that way you have more of the original information to test your filter function on.
