Topic: MDBDataTable sort case insensitive

pal.wagner free asked 4 years ago

Hi,

The current sorting on MDBDataTable is case sensitive but in few fields we would perform case insensitive sorting? Is it possible to do that somewhow?

Cheers!

There is only possible to sort with case sensitive.

Hi,

I was able to create a hack/solution for case sensitive sorting.

Small example

Basically in the searchvalue property, I've set everything to be lower case. Whenever you defined this property in your tag, the sort is using that value, instead of the text you actually see (which contains upper and lower case letters).

Note: Also important to define the sortRows array.

Hope this is helpful.
