Hi

In the soucecode it’s like this:
" 02 Jan 2103 "

On the page it’s like this:
"02 Jan 2103"

Really weird.

The scraper plug-in seems not to be updated any more so I’ll try the other one I found that’s up-to-date (but with out any functions).

The .trim didn’t work, but thanks anyway.

Hi

Well it works like a charm, sorting dd/mm/yy , dd/mmm/yyyy and dd/mm/yyyy.

But turns out the WP scraper that I use creates blank spaces before and after the output, sow I can’t sort my list. I found another scraper that nearly does the job. (It don’t allow regex before output)
Is it possible to run regex inside the table?

Hi Tobis

I’ve managed to change the format: dd/mmm/yyyy (stil not sortable)

I’ve look around datatables.net and found some code:

// Override default implementation for date sorting
jQuery.extend( jQuery.fn.dataTableExt.oSort, {
    "date-uk-pre": function ( a ) {
        var ukDatea = jQuery(a).text().split('-');
        if(ukDatea.length==2){
            var month = ukDatea[0];
        }else{
            month = ukDatea[1];
        }
        if(month=="jan" || month=="Jan"){month=01;}
        else if(month=="feb" || month=="Feb"){month=02;}
        else if(month=="mar" || month=="Mar"){month=03;}
        else if(month=="apr" || month=="Apr"){month=04;}
        else if(month=="may" || month=="May"){month=05;}
        else if(month=="jun" || month=="Jun"){month=06;}
        else if(month=="jul" || month=="Jul"){month=07;}
        else if(month=="aug" || month=="Aug"){month=08;}
        else if(month=="sep" || month=="Sep"){month=09;}
        else if(month=="oct" || month=="Oct"){month=10;}
        else if(month=="nov" || month=="Nov"){month=11;}
        else{month=12;}
        if(ukDatea.length==2){
            return (ukDatea[1] + month) * 1;
        }else{
            return (ukDatea[2] + month + ukDatea[0]) * 1;
        }
    },

    "date-uk-asc": function ( a, b ) {
        console.log(a+" "+b);
        return ((a < b) ? -1 : ((a > b) ? 1 : 0));
    },

    "date-uk-desc": function ( a, b ) {
        return ((a < b) ? 1 : ((a > b) ? -1 : 0));
    }
});

Is it possible to implement the code in the jQuery of the Tablepress sorting extention?!?

Hi

Unfortunately I can’t (or I just can’t figure it out) switch the format because the date are all scraped from WP blogs “lastbuilddate”

I’ll sleep on it..again

Thx for the fast response
