sorting dissapears on adding any code to custom fields

    Hi,
    I’ve got tables that I’d like to sort by date. the data is formatted as 01/01/2022 in each cell in column 2 (i.e. the second one).
    If I add any of the suggested sorting code such as

    “columnDefs”: [ { “type”: “date-eu”, “targets”: [ 1 ] } ]

    the sorting on all tables on the page dissappears.
    I’m adding this to the section called “Custom Commands:” – is this the right place?
    Do you have any other suggestions?

    Cheers,
    Jason.

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    One common problem here is the use of the correct quotation marks. Sometimes, copy/pasting can result in the wrong ones being used. Can you therefore please check if the quotation marks in the “Custom Command” are upright " ones, and not curly “ ones?

    Also for the date-eu date format, did you download, install, and activate the TablePress Extension from https://tablepress.org/extensions/datatables-sorting-plugins/ ?

    If all that does not help, can you please post a link to the page with the table where this problem happens, so that I can take a direct look? Thanks!

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Hi,
    Yep, it was the quotes.
    So difficult to see them, and I copied the code from this forum.
    Anyway, they are sorted now.
    Thank you very much for the quick reply and fix 🙂
    Cheers,
    Jason.
