 * Hiho!
 * I installed the DataTables ColumnFilterWidgets, but I’ve two columns with date-
   eu. In the table the columns are sorted correct after I added the “type”: “date-
   eu” in the extra input field.
    But in the select box from ColumnFilterWidgets
   the order is wrong. How can I tell the plugin to sort the data with “type”: “
   date-eu”?

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * I’m afraid that that’s not possible. The sorting in the dropdowns uses the default
   sorting algorithms of JavaScript, and those don’t understand those column data
   types 🙁
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Hallo!
 * Ist folgende Konstellation bei Verwendung des Filter-Widgets möglich?
 * Beispiel: Es gibt 3 Spalten (A, B, und C) die gefiltert werden, jedoch wird nur
   Spalte C als Ergebnis ausgegeben, also Spalte A und B werden nicht angezeigt.
   D.h. der Filter soll bei A, B und C möglich sein, aber beim Output soll nur C
   ausgegeben werden.
 * Danke!
 * lg, Chris
