    Hi Tobias,

    1. is it possible to ignore signs in a search bar like dots etc. (. , ‘)

    ex.
    if I search O’neal I would like to type just Oneal.

    2. [table id=2 ?responsive=scroll row_order=sort row_order_sort_column=D row_order_sort_direction=ASC?filter_date=”future” filter_date_columns=”4″ cache_table_output=false /] there’s only working format date YYYY/MM/DD

    If I typed DD.MM.YYYY it’s not sorted.

    Hi,

    thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.

    1. Unfortunately, I’m not aware of a possibility to exclude certain special characters, sorry ?? From what I know, this is not directly possible in the external DataTables JS library.

    2. Due to the internal PHP date format, only YYYY/MM/DD is supported here. I would recommend that you keep two date columns here, one with YYYY/MM/DD and one with DD.MM.YYYY. Then, you could hide the YYYY/MM/DD column from the user with some “Custom CSS” like

    .tablepress-id-123 .column-4 {
  display: none;
}

    Regards,
    Tobias
