Changing the date format

Flexible client-side table sorting

NOTE!

• The dateFormat option was modified in version 2.0.23 (not part of the original plugin).
• The dateFormat option will ONLY work with the shortDate parser.
• The date can be separated by any of the following: slash, dash, period, comma, space(s) or tab (/-., ).
• This date format parser will only work with a four digit year. You can write your own if you need a two digit year parser.
• In versions 2.3+, date formats can be set by column using any of the following methods (they all do the same thing), in order of priority:
  • jQuery data data-date-format="mmddyyyy" (see the Javascript block below on how to set it directly; data-dateFormat is equivalent to data-date-format).
  • metadata class="{ dateFormat: "mmddyyyy" }". This requires the metadata plugin.
  • headers option headers : { 0 : { dateFormat: "mmddyyyy" } }.
  • header class name class="dateFormat-mmddyyyy".
  • Global (all columns) dateFormat option setting.
