Sorting is messed up

The numeric columns in the table are sorting like text, so ascending rank gives you 1, then 10, then 11. I've been trying to compare the code to the table at the steel by country page, which sorts correctly, but I'm having trouble figuring out what needs doing. Please halp. 204.194.77.3 (talk) 19:25, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Saudi Arabia's Ras al-Khair smelter production capacity adds 740,000 tonnes a year of aluminium.

Lowest cost smelter in the world. Started production in 2014

Maybe the least polluting smelter per ton because uses natural gas as fuel.
