Thank you for the support and confirmation Kevin ;)

Doh - sorry. Yes, the method described in that blog post would need to be extended to include support for dates. It could be merged with the Moment date / time plug-in potentially. Allan

Thanks for the files. That appears to be a "Save as" from Chrome or Firefox as it contains all the marked up HTML. Could you give a link to the page so I can debug it from its initial bootstrap please. Allan

You would need to create a custom ordering plug-in that would extract the data you want from the cell. Another option would be to use orthogonal data. Allan

@allan can you help me out with this? I found the conversation you on other posting here [https://datatables.net/forums/discussion/348/sort-by-checkbox-column] and I try followed from what @Danv suggest, but the codes is old method. thank you ! :smile:

I just realized that folks can't get to the site so here is the jsfiddle https://jsfiddle.net/isogunro/sb4ohdkj/4/

Sounds like you want the columns.orderData option which can be used to trigger multi-column sorting from a single column. Allan

We'd need a test case showing the issue to understand and be able to debug what is going wrong. Allan

It does actually take the date into account and gives newer posts higher ranking. However, an explicit forum search which provides that options is a good idea. Thanks for bringing this up. Allan

The column order is correct ... B..., C. I guess You'll need some custom selected column that will trim the slashes (and other non-alphanumeric chars) and will count the string length first and only after ordering on this column, use the second column to order alphabetically.
