Seperate values for rendering and sorting

frederik

I always recieve pairs of data from the server: sorting value and rendering value. For example a timestamp to sort on and a formatted date.

Is there an easy way to tell datatables to sort on the timestamp rather than the date? The timestamp is not supposed to be visible for the user.

Thanks!

You could do something like the hidden title sorting plug-in does: http://datatables.net/plug-ins/sorting#hidden_title
