    I have one major question and one follow-on question related to column sorting.

    Multi column sorting is really REALLY cool on a laptop using click sort. I’ve got a test page set up listed above.

    1) I’ve looked thought the documentation and this forum but cannot find the keystrokes / procedure for doing multi column sorts on a mobile device. Is this possible on a phone or tablet. Haven’t found a way to do get the virtual keyboard up to do it.

    2) I have one linked question. Where you are doing column sorts or multi-column sorts is it possible to change the arrow at the end of the header column from say black to say blue or red so that there is a visual cue that the column has been sorted? There is a sort of cue in the the double headed arrow changes to a single head arrow.

    many thanks

    PS while researching multi-column sorting I also came across some tips on date sorting. In the past where I’ve used dates I’ve converted the column in xlsx to text and converted it to yyyy/mm/dd format see: https://www.bajanthings.com/posts-index/ I will play with date sort next.

    Hi,

    thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.

    1) Unfortunately, I don’t know a way for this either, sorry ??
    For obvious reasons, there are not many ways to interact with a touch screen (like holding down a key). Therefore, I don’t think that the DataTables JS library offers a way for using multi-column sort on mobiles, sorry.

    2) You could change the colors of these arrow icons with CSS code. For example, add this to the “Custom CSS” textarea on the “Plugin Options” screen of TablePress:

    .tablepress .sorting_asc:after {
  color: #ff0000;
}
.tablepress .sorting_desc:after {
  color: #0000ff;
}

    Regards,
    Tobias
