Date order in cascading filters

silkspin

I'm using moment.js to sort the dates in columns, but with cascading filters I don't know how to make the dates appear in the correct order for dd/mm/yyyy. I've tried a few things without success, but I think I'm on the right track http://live.datatables.net/jabihayo/1

I've added a conditional if (column.index() === 4) for the date column and I assume this is where I need moment to sort the date list as dates rather than a string?

Use something like the technique in this SO thread. The sort() API takes a function which you can use to sort the date strings using moment.js. For example:
