Overcoming a big with date-based filtering.

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

I have a table called "Top Fires" on my homepage using Toolset. The data sorts correctly when clicking on most headers, but the date-based columns ("Date created" and "Date modified") do not sort properly and seem to sort randomly.

Solution:

Change the code for the headers of the date-based columns. Use the "types-field-" prefix for the custom fields in the wpv-heading shortcode:

<th>[wpv-heading name="types-field-created-on"]Detected[/wpv-heading]</th>
<th>[wpv-heading name="types-field-last-updated"]last updated[/wpv-heading]</th>

Hi there,

I have an answer from the second tier support. Please change the code you used for the header of the table from:

  <th>[wpv-heading name="types-created-on"]Detected[/wpv-heading]</th>
   <th>[wpv-heading name="types-last-updated"]last updated[/wpv-heading]</th>

to:

<th>[wpv-heading name="types-field-created-on"]Detected[/wpv-heading]</th>
  <th>[wpv-heading name="types-field-last-updated"]last updated[/wpv-heading]</th>

For the wpv-heading shortcode you need to have the "types-field-" prefix for the custom fields. Here is the documentation about that:

Thanks.
