Description of problem:

How can I reset className dt-right on date col with moment.js renderer?

DataTable.type('datetime', 'className', '');
DataTable.type('date', 'className', '');

Solved – you need to manually set the column type. I’m not sure why it doesn’t work without it.

 type: 'datetime',

I’ve faced a similar issue when working with date columns formatted using Moment.js. The automatic dt-right class can be a little confusing when the expected alignment is left, so it would be helpful to have a straightforward way to override the default class for specific date columns.

How are you setting up the renderer for the date column? You might be able to simply use:

DataTable.type('datetime', 'className', 'dt-left');

It gets a bit more complicated if you are using a custom format though?
