No filter in one column

Hi,

thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

Do you really mean the filtering, and not maybe the sorting?
Can you please post a link to the page with the table where this happens?

yes i mean the sorting… excuse me :/

Hi,

ok, thanks for the clarification. Then please post a link to the page, thanks!

its the second table down in the page. the first one is for another plugin that i want to change with yours. as you see the sorting in the first column is wrong.

and another question i would like to ask you: “how can i translate the words “entries”, “search” etc

Thanks again.

Hi,

thanks for the link. Now I can see what you mean.
The problem here is that the text in the first column does not have a year in them, and due to that, the text is no recognized as a date. Thus, it’s sorted as regular text.
To change that, you would need a custom sorting algorithm, by doing some custom JS coding, similar to the code in the TablePress Extension at https://tablepress.org/extensions/datatables-sorting-plugins/

For the other question: Changing these strings is also possible with a TablePress Extension: https://tablepress.org/extensions/change-datatables-strings/

thank you very much!!

keep up the good work!!!

Hi,

no problem, you are very welcome! ?? Good to hear that this helped!

Best wishes,
Tobias

P.S.: In case you haven’t, please rate TablePress here in the plugin directory. Thanks!

i put the date with the year and it keeps sorting wrong. 1/1/2013… :/

Hi,

the problem then is that you are using the European date format dd/mm/yyyy, while the DataTables JS library needs the English format MM/DD/YYYY.
To change that, you’ll need to use the Sorting Plugin Extension that I mention above, with this added to the “Custom Commands” textfield on the “Edit” screen of the table:

"aoColumnDefs": [ { "sType": "date-eu", "aTargets": [ 0 ] } ]

(I did not test it, but it might even be possible that this sorting algorithm also you to omit the year.)

in the tablepress-datatables-sorting-plugins/jquery.datatables.sorting-plugins.js

is written:

* European dates dd.mm(.yyyy) or dd/mm(/yyyy), will be detected automatically

Hi,

yes, I wrote that, but I wasn’t sure whether it is still true (after I might have made some modifications).

So, is it working with that “Custom Command” added?

as i was checking the sorting in the date column i realise that the sorting “sorts” the entries with thw priority of the first number. what i mean.

for the date: 12/02 (12nd february) it sorts only the number “1”.

so in my table the column is sorting just like this:

1/11
10/11
10/11
11/11
12/10
12/10
12/11
13/10
14/10
15/10
15/11
2/11

for that i realise that it sorts all the dates just like this:

AB/CD

first with the “A” then with B, after the “C” and at last the “D”…

Hi,

I understand and that’s why I suggested that solution with the TablePress Extension and with the “Custom Commands”. That changes this sorting behavior, so please try my instructions from above.

i copy paste the “aoColumnDefs”: [ { “sType”: “date-eu”, “aTargets”: [ 0 ] } ]

in the tablepress-datatables-sorting-plugins/jquery.datatables.sorting-plugins.js file but nothing happened.

Hi,

no, don’t copy it into the file. Instead, copy it into the “Custom Commands” textfield on the table’s “Edit” screen (in the “Features of the DataTables JavaScript library” section), as described above.
