 * Is there any way to sort by date, and show for example the latest 5 cells?

 * Hi,
 * to sort by date, you might need some custom code, depending on the used date 
   format. Please consult the DataTables documentation at [http://www.datatables.net](http://www.datatables.net).
 * By “the latest 5 cells”, do you mean the cells with the most current date in 
   them, or the last cells in the table (i.e. the cells at lower end of the table)?
   
   I don’t see a solution for the first, but the second might be possible with the
   row_start Shortcode parameter (see [http://tobias.baethge.com/wordpress-plugins/wp-table-reloaded-english/documentation/](http://tobias.baethge.com/wordpress-plugins/wp-table-reloaded-english/documentation/))

 * Btw great plugin, it’s exactly what I was looking for. Except I just need a datepicker
   to be able to pull by dates. Is that even possible?

 * Hi,
 * unfortunately, I don’t know if something like that is possible 🙁 I don’t remember
   seeing something like that so far, so I can’t really help here, sorry.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
