I do not want to use `pos_frac` since the function knows `percent` and it looks much nicer and cleaner than a fraction.

The `%` sign is printed by the function itself. Do not see how to remove it, and why should I do it in the first place, since the percentage is the value I want to see.

Yes, if the column would have

Code:

Sort/search column by: Text

The column become sortable and do a sort as expected by alphabet: 1%, 10%, 2%, etc...
But if the "Sort/search column by:" is set to Number - the click on column header does nothing.

So I see here two ways to solve this issue:
- Add a separate field "sort by function" in parallel with field Template (which defines what is shown in the column). And the new function will be used for sorting.
- Fix sorting of percentage as a number, since it is really a number.
