Date is not sorting

[nandhuems]

I have Date Format like "01-03-2018". but the angular2-datable is not sorting correctly. the date is sorting based on the first digit.

To sort by date you need to add parsing information in the template syntax that matches your date syntax.
Table specifies "deliveryDate":

<table class="table table-condensed table-striped text-center" [(mfSortBy)]="deliveryDate" [(mfSortOrder)]="sortOrder" [mfData]="data" #mf="mfDataTable">

Header specifies with the "by" directive:

<thead><tr><th class="text-center"><mfDefaultSorter by="deliveryDate"><span>Order Date</span</mfDefaultSorter></th>

And in the tbody the crucial template parsing information:

<tbody><tr *ngFor="let item of mf.data"><td ><span>{{item.deliveryDate | date: 'MM-dd-yyyy'}}</span></td></tr></tbody>
