Tabulator 4.2: sorter:"date" not working? - tabulator

Question

Even in the example given # the Tabulator site:
http://tabulator.info/basic/4.2
the date column does not sort, unlike the others. Is there a fix for that?

Answer 1

Date sorting for Tabulator is dependent on MomentJS.
Import Moment Js to your code
{title: "Date Of Birth", field: "dob", sorter:"date", sorterParams:{format:"DD/MM/YY"}},
Please check this Snippet
const tabledata1 = [
{id: 1, name: "Oli ", money: "0", col: "red", dob: "14/05/1982"},
{id: 2, name: "Mary ", money: "0", col: "blue", dob: "14/05/1982"},
{id: 3, name: "Christine ", money: "0", col: "green", dob: "22/05/1982"},
{id: 4, name: "Brendon ", money: "0", col: "orange", dob: "01/08/1980"},
{id: 5, name: "Margret ", money: "0", col: "yellow", dob: "31/01/1999"},
];
const table = new Tabulator("#example-table", {
height: 205, // set height of table (in CSS or here), this enables the Virtual DOM and improves render speed dramatically (can be any valid css height value)
data: tabledata1, //assign data to table
layout: "fitColumns", //fit columns to width of table (optional)
columns: [ //Define Table Columns
{title: "Name", field: "name", width: 150},
{
title: "money",
field: "money",
align: "left",
formatter: "money"
},
{title: "Favourite Color", field: "col"},
{title: "Date Of Birth", field: "dob", sorter:"date", sorterParams:{format:"DD/MM/YY"}},
]
});
function removeData() {
table.clearData();
}
function update() {
table.updateOrAddData(tabledata2);
// table.addData(tabledata2);
}
