How to use the Ultimate date/time sorting plugin

snaveevans

I'm trying to get the ultimate date/time sorting plugin to work however I don't know what is going wrong but it is not working.
I've been following this https://datatables.net/blog/2014-12-18

I've done the following:

• Added moment.js to my page
• Added datetime-moment.js to my page
• Verified they are being loaded
• Debugged in Chrome the function $.fn.dataTable.moment() is being called with the format given
• Initialized the plugin using $.fn.dataTable.moment('MM/DD/YYYY');
• Initialized datatables using the following:

$('.intlTable').DataTable({
        lengthMenu: [[10, 25, 50], [10, 25, 50]],
        dom: 'lBfrtip',
        buttons: [
            'copyHtml5',
            'excelHtml5',
            'csvHtml5',
            'pdfHtml5',
        ]
    });

Everything works (page length, switching pages, export buttons) just fine except sorting dates.

What am I missing to get this to work? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Check my formats again, and found I was wrong, it needed to be $.fn.dataTable.moment('M/D/YYYY');
