How to sort datatables with date in descending order

Question

I wish to show the records using datatables with default ordering based on one of my rows with date & time in descending order. Please help me in editing the jquery stru

Answer 1

Default sorting in Datatables:

$(document).ready(function() { 
    $('#example').DataTable({ 
        "order": [[ 3, "desc" ]] 
    }); 
});

You can use asc for ascending order. And 3 means, 4th column is going to be ordered default.
