Answer 1

Just add another choice works perfectly for me to sort the date format (dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss). By using the js dataTables plugin.

Add the code below to your is code:

$(document).ready(function () {
oTable = $('#AjaxGrid').dataTable({
"aLengthMenu": [[5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 500,1000,-1], [5, 10, 25, 50, 100,500,1000,"All"]],
iDisplayLength: 1000,
aaSorting: [[2, 'asc']],
bSortable: true,
aoColumnDefs: [
{ "aTargets": [ 1 ], "bSortable": true },
{ "aTargets": [ 2 ], "bSortable": true },
{ "aTargets": [ 3 ], "bSortable": true },
{ "aTargets": [ 4 ], "bSortable": true },
{"aTargets": [ 5 ], "bSortable": true, "sType": "date-euro"},
{"aTargets": [ 6 ], "bSortable": true, "sType": "date-euro"},
{ "aTargets": [ 7 ], "bSortable": false }
],
"sDom": '<"H"Cfr>t<"F"ip>',
"oLanguage": {
"sZeroRecords": "- No Articles To Display -",
"sLengthMenu": "Display _MENU_ records per page",
"sInfo": " ", //"Displaying _START_ to _END_ of _TOTAL_ records",
"sInfoEmpty": " ", //"Showing 0 to 0 of 0 records",
"sInfoFiltered": "(filtered from _MAX_ total records)"
},
"bJQueryUI": true
});
});


//New code
jQuery.extend( jQuery.fn.dataTableExt.oSort, {
"date-euro-pre": function ( a ) {
if ($.trim(a) != '') {
var frDatea = $.trim(a).split(' ');
var frTimea = frDatea[1].split(':');
var frDatea2 = frDatea[0].split('/');
var x = (frDatea2[2] + frDatea2[1] + frDatea2[0] + frTimea[0] + frTimea[1] + frTimea[2]) * 1;
} else {
var x = 10000000000000; // = l'an 1000 ...
}

return x;
},

"date-euro-asc": function ( a, b ) {
return a - b;
},

"date-euro-desc": function ( a, b ) {
return b - a;
}
} );
