 * Hello Tobias, thank you for this great plugin. I can’t find a step-by-step tutorial
   on: now to let the readers sort a date column by EU date format (dd/mm/yyyy).
   Sorry for even asking!

 * Hi Tobias. Thanks a lot for your reply. But I could not make it work I’m afraid.
 * – I have installed and activated: TablePress Extension: DataTables Sorting plugins
   –
   I added dates to first column in this format: 15/01/2022 e.g. – I added this 
   to custom commands: “columnDefs”: [ { “type”: “eu-date”, “targets”: [ 1 ] } ]
 * But it’s still not sorted correctly. Do you have a club about it?
 * **EDIT:** No, it works, I’m sorry for the trouble! I left an empty row and it
   caused it not to work. Thanks a lot!

 * Hi,
 * hhm, the value in the `"targets"` part would have to be set to `0` if the date
   is in the first column. 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
