Sort Date from newest to Oldest

spacemancw

The first column in my table is a date. When the table loads, it is sorted by that first column. But the oldest dates come to the top.

A row looks like this. The last cell is hidden by the way with "style=display:none" ..

<tr> 
<td align=left>2023-09-12 15:47:21</td> 
<td align=left> mydata2</td> <td align=left>mydata2</td> 
<td align=left> user</td> 
<td align=left> mydata3</td> 
<td align=left>
<div class="tooltip"> 
<i class="fa fa-info-circle" style="font-size:18px;color:#5F8575"></i>
<span class="tooltiptext">mydata4</td> 
<td style=display:none;>Succeeded</td> 
</tr>

How do I make this table load with dates newest to oldest. Of course clicking the column head sorts them ok, but I want them to load properly loaded.

thanks

Use the order option, something like this order: [[0, 'desc']],.
