Data Grid sort by date?

[azhengtwilio]

Hi,
We're trying to implement a table that could be sorted by date, was reading up on the data grid paste component, seems like there is sorting for alphabetic order but wondering if we could do it with dates and time too?

Hi @azhengtwilio,

Here's a codesandbox showing how you'd do it: https://codesandbox.io/s/sortable-datetime-columns-datagrid-0wvcnm

In general, dates are sortable in JS you just need to make sure the data is an actually Date object. If you look at the constants.tsx file you will see our data is using Date objects. During the render, I use toString() to display the string version, but you can use any native Date functions to display it however you like.
