How to sort ant table column by date?

Question

I would like to sort antd table by a Date column.

Trying to sort like sorter: (a, b) => new Date(a) - new Date(b)

What I've been doing so far here and failed to solve it.

Answer 1

Try this one. This will automatically sort by date ASC to DESC, DESC to ASC as you click the column header. You need to install moment

imports:

import moment from 'moment';

Sorter:

sorter: (a, b) => moment(a.date).unix() - moment(b.date).unix()

Answer 2

a,b are table records, so you need new Date(a.date) - new Date(b.date):

{
  title: 'Date',
  dataIndex: 'date',
  key: 'date',
  sorter: (a, b) => new Date(a.date) - new Date(b.date)
}
