Custom date sorting for non-traditional date formats

thebloop

Is there a way to create your own custom date sorting plugin or a parser? I have a set of dates that are written as ??-Nov-2016 or ??-???-2016. In the case of ??-Nov-2016, this would be equal to 01-Nov-2016, for ??-???-2016 that would be equal to 01-Jan-2016.

Is there any way to accomplish this?

Hi thebloop,

please take a look at the ultimate date/time sorting blog post.
It explains in detail how to sort with moment.js

Thanks for the link to the plugin, I am a total newb to Java, can you give me an example of how to implement the moment.js for my custom date examples

How would I write sorting on column 3, ascending, where ??-Nov-2016, how would I enter ??=01

Thanks!
