    Hi,

    thanks for your question.

    Sorting cells with currency values, like in your case, requires some additional JavaScript code for the DataTables JavaScript library (which is used for the actual sorting). You can see that code at http://datatables.net/plug-ins/sorting#currency

    Unfortunately, integrating this into TablePress is not that trivial, as it requires a small Extension to load this code with DataTables. Now, I’m planning to create this Extension in the next days, so I ask you for a few days of patience, if you are interested in this.

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Hi Tobias
    Thanks for getting back to me so quicky.

    I can definitely be patient! It will be wonderful to have that extension.

    I hope you’re taking a break over Christmas and enjoying the festive season.

    Hi,

    sure, no problem! 🙂
    I’ll try to remember to post here once the code is ready, and I will likely tweet about it.

    And yes, I’ll be taking a small break over Christmas 🙂

    Happy Holidays!

    Can you use this table sorting plugins to sort day of week? like Monday then Tuesday, then Wednesday, etc.?

    Thanks,

    Hi,

    thanks for your question. No, sorry, that date format is not supported by the Extension currently. That would require a custom sorting algorithm.
