I am using this Bootstrap table plugin. But sorting by date is not working properly.
Here is the code:
<table class=" table-striped" id="table" data-toggle="table"
data-search="true"
data-filter-control="true"
data-click-to-select="true"
data-escape="false">
<thead>
<tr>
<th data-field="expiry_date" data-sortable="true" scope="col"><?= 'expiry date' ?></th>
</tr>
</thead>
Date is in this format: d/m/y (17/7/14)
How I can fix it in order to sort dates properly?
Answer
You must use a custom sorter with “data-sorter” attribute like data-sorter="datesSorter"
Then to fit your needs :
function datesSorter(a, b) {
if (new Date(a) < new Date(b)) return 1;
if (new Date(a) > new Date(b)) return -1;
return 0;
}
