 * I created 4 columns using Tablepress. One of them isn’t working properly anymore.
   My date posted column is no longer accurate whenever I try to sort it by latest
   review or first review.
 * I noticed this issue earlier this year. The other columns sort accurately though.
   What could be the issue?

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * I’m not really sure why that is. Why might have to specifically instruct a date
   sorting. For that, please add this to the “Custom Commands” text field on the“
   Edit” screen of the table:
 *     ```
       "columnDefs": [ { "type": "date", "targets": [ 1 ] } ]
       ```
   
 * This sets a `date` format on the second column of the table (indicated by the`
   1`, as counting the columns starts with 0 in this code).
 * Regards,
    Tobias
