Sorting letters of the Ukrainian alphabet

Hi,

thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

I know what you mean, but unfortunately, there’s no direct solution here. You will likely need a custom sorting algorithm for the external DataTables JS library, see https://datatables.net/blog/2017-02-28 and https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37784915/datatables-non-english-letters-sorting-in-1-10

I added the code to your extension (DataTables Sorting plugins), but it doesn’t work.

jQuery.extend( jQuery.fn.dataTableExt.oSort, {
  "locale-compare-asc": function ( a, b ) {
     return a.localeCompare(b, 'uk', { sensitivity: 'accent' })
  },
  "locale-compare-desc": function ( a, b ) {
     return b.localeCompare(a, 'uk', { sensitivity: 'accent' })
  }
});

var table = $('#example').DataTable({
    columnDefs : [
     { targets: 0, type: 'locale-compare' }
  ]
});

Hi,

please try adding only

jQuery.extend( jQuery.fn.dataTableExt.oSort, {
  "locale-compare-asc": function ( a, b ) {
     return a.localeCompare(b, 'uk', { sensitivity: 'accent' })
  },
  "locale-compare-desc": function ( a, b ) {
     return b.localeCompare(a, 'uk', { sensitivity: 'accent' })
  }
});

to the Extension’s JS files (both of them!).

From the other piece of code, only

"columnDefs": [ { "targets": [ 0 ], "type": "locale-compare" } ]

should then be added to the “Custom Commands” text field on the “Edit” screen of the desired table.

This will then turn on this custom sorting method for the first column of the table (because of the 0 in the targets value).

I did it. Everything works fine!
Thank you, Tobias!
