First of all: make sure taht the date in your datasource table is in the format YYY-MM-DD.

Don't apply the format to your datatable but create a function like this:

public showTimestamp(n: string) {

let y = n.substr(0,4);

let m = n.substr(5,2);

let d = n.substr(8, 2);

return d + "/" + m + "/" + y; }

in your HTML us this function like this:

{{ showTimestamp(v.datum) }}

Your data is always shown in the right format and is also shown sorted correctly.

i am using mdb vue data table within data table how i can call your function ?

I guess @frankvdsm fix is applicable only in MDB5. In MDB4 datatable there is no other option than changing date format to YYYY/MM/DD.
