How to sort datatables with date in descending order

Question

I wish to show the records using datatables with default ordering based on one of my rows with date & time in descending order. Please help me in editing the jquery stru

Answer 1

The simpliest way is to add a hidden timestamp before the date in every TD tag of the column, for example:

    154702261509/01/2019  09:30

With the default string ordering, a timestamp would order the column the way you want and it will not be shown when rendered in the browser.
