Ignore empty cells when sorting dates

yaksey

Hey everybody,

I made my custom date sortable with datetime-moment.js and the following line:
$.fn.dataTable.moment( 'DD.MM.YY' );

And it works pretty fine so far. But my problem is, that it doesn't ignore empty cells.
So if I sort my data descending, the empty cells are at the top.
How can I achieve the empty cells to be at the bottom no matter whether I sort my data ascending or descending?

Hi,

I wrote a blog post on this topic a while back. The post only covers string and number sorting, but the technique shown there could readily be expanded to modify the moment sorting plug-in.
