    Hi. Apologies for such a basic question. I’ve tried reading the documentation and searching here but I cannot find the answer.

    I’m using TablePress for a very basic list of 3 columns. The first column is the date, written in US format (mm/dd/yyyy). I simply want TablePress to list the table with the most-recent date entry at the top.

    I’ve tried using this shortcode:
    [table id=1 row_order=sort row_order_sort_column=A row_order_sort_direction=DESC /]
    but that just seems to sort by the first digits of the date. So if there’s an entry with the date 10/01/2018 and another entry with the date 11/01/2017, the second date gets displayed above the first.

    What do I need to do? Please help.

  • Hi again,

    Tobias great support! Very fast and accurate explanation. For the future, to solve my problem I had to delete line: (row_order=sort row_order_sort_column=5 row_order_sort_direction=ASC). On the “Edit” screen, using the small sort arrow icons in the header row.

    Thank you again for your help. Sometimes the simplest things becomes the hardest one ??
