Topic: Datatable - sorting a link
Hi, the sorting of a column doesn't work correctly when creating a link via the 'map' mechanism.
I would expect the 'Title' column to sort alphabetically but instead it sorts on the length of the string?
const instance = new mdb.Datatable(document.getElementById('datatable'), {
columns: [
{ label: 'Title', field: 'title' }
],
rows: [
@Html.Raw(Model)
].map((row) => {
return {
...row,
title: `<a href="${row.detailUrl}" target="_blank">${row.title}<a/>`
};
})
}, { sortField: 'title', sortOrder: 'asc' });

Can you send a snippet with an example? If I understand correctly, this is the case: https://mdbootstrap.com/snippets/standard/grzegorz-bujanski/5260962#js-tab-view but everything seems to be working fine. Have I missed something?

Hi Grzegorz Seems the sorting gets messed up when you add relative links with id's: https://mdbootstrap.com/snippets/standard/kephas/5263589#js-tab-view

Links were sorted not by length but as a string with tags and attributes. To work around that you can add data attribute before href. Snippet here:
