Hi,
thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
Where does your data come from? Did you import it?
TablePress can not change it itself, the format has to be changed in the source of the data already.

Sorry, I dont understand?
I downloaded the plugin here from the WordPress site.
Im based in Ireland.
Hi,
yes, but where is the table data (i.e. those dates in the US format) coming from?
Regards,
Tobias
Im just typing them in.
Where the individual boxes are I have a date column and under here I have typed the dates as follows;
eg: todays date 06/05/2015
But when I arrange the date tab by numbers it puts them in the wrong order.
Is there a way to set this as a date? DD/MM/YY so that when the client clicks the date order it will go in date order according to day?
Do you know what I mean?
Hi,
ah, so you don’t actually want to change the dates in the table, you just want them to sort correctly, right?
For that, you will just have to add an extra sorting algorithm for European dates, via the TablePress Extension from http://tablepress.org/extensions/datatables-sorting-plugins/

Ok thank you,
So Ive uploaded this…but what am i supposed to do to make this work?
Thanks.
Hi,
it should be enough to install the Extension by uploading and activating it as a new plugin.
Depending on the table, it might however be necessary to explicitly set the date format for the sorting.
Can you please post a link to the page with the table where this problem happens, so that I can take a direct look? Thanks!

Thank you so much for your help! 🙂

Hi,

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