 * Is there a way to change the date format?
 * My site is setup for MM/dd/yyyy, yet when I use this plugin it always goes yyyy/
   MM/dd.

 * No, there isn’t a way to change it at the moment, but we’ll definitely add this
   in the next version.
 * In the meantime, you can alter the date format on line 304 of posts-data-table.
   php. E.g.
 * `'{date}' => get_the_date( 'm/d/Y', $_post ),`

 * Hey Andy (wait, that’s me),
 * Thanks for the quick reply! I basically tweaked your change and just updated 
   line 172 to set the date_format variable to the new format. Even though looking
   the only place that variable is used is in the line you mentioned. But just felt“
   cleaner” as a program to change your variable then hard code it below (even though
   for now the variable is hard coded… But, nevermind…)

 * Hi Andy! Yeah it would be better as a shortcode option. I’ll make sure to add
   that in the next version, so it’s not hard-coded.
