How to sort Date/Time column in angular 4 material sort?

Question

I\'m using angular material table and using matSort for sorting. But it\'s not sorting the dates/time column. It takes the datetime column values as strings.

How to sor

Answer 1

With the latest version of Angular Material 5, you should add just a property "mat-sort-header" and it will sort out of the box. Also, you could add some DatePipe so you can format that Date object.

  
     
       date
    
     
       {{row.fromDate | date: 'dd MMM., yyyy, HH:mm' }}
