And thanks for that reply, as well.

@tabletools2 No need to apologize about being tardy. I only posted 2 weeks ago, which isn't long ago, and we all have things to do in our lives besides sitting around checking or waiting for online responses. I take them as they come and sometimes get no reply or replies.
So, thanks for the reply and fine explanation.

If anyone reading this doesn't know what LT and GT mean, then it's less than, and greater than. I used these acronyms due to Youtube refusing to accept the normal character symbols. Computer programmers are or certainly become accustomed to using both the character symbols as well as -lt and -gt for comparison operators.
Very appreciable demo and walk-through! So thanks, to both Mingyi and tabletools2 here, for this video.
And now it's time to install this extension.

@mikecorbeil Thanks! BTW if anyone else wants to post a question, I encourage you to post questions to TT2 Firefox addon page (just search for TableTools2 on Google, 1st result) through email link on right. I don't use this email at all, so Youtube notification of new comments on video won't reach me.

Thanks for this demo and i wish there were demo videos for plenty of other top- and highly-rated add-ons at mozilla[dot]org. I just learned about this add-on minutes ago for the first time, since it's in the list of top-rated extensions at mozilla.
But, at 1:59 in this video, the narrator demos a context search based on numbers LT10 and GT -5. Two records result, but one with a negative number has -83.48, or -83.48 E -4, and -83 is much LT -5, not GT -5.
So, please explain.

@mikecorbeil Sorry for the late reply. It's because -83.43E-4 is scientific notation, meaning it's -83.43 x 0.0001 = -0.008343 and it's bigger than -5. I also demonstrate a point here that while "- 83.48 E -04" does not work in Javascript as scientific notation due to the spaces, TableTools2 actually tries to salvage incorrectly formatted scientific numbers and properly sort/filter/... on them. TT2 tries same thing for date/time, European styled numbers (through Options/Context menu) ...
