Date Sorting problem

michaelcp

Hello everyone,

I am new to DataTables and maybe this question has already been answered, but indulge me please. I retrieve a list of dates from a database and then i render a datatable with the specific dates in a column. When i try to sort them the sorting is not working as intended, and i think its because it converts the dates in string form. What i would like to know is if there is a solution strictly within DataTables or do I have to try a plugin?

Thank you
