sorting date in TreeGrid

Hello!



I have a problem. I have some fields in the grid showing a date value, which is stored in DB in format DD.MM.YYYY.



I already noticed that this format is incompatible to javascript sorting, so i changed the format already in the PHP-Script to a format like MM/DD/YYYY. I defined the field as a date field and tried to change the format with the function setDateFormat(“d/m/y”), but it is still showing in the MM/DD/YYYY format.



Could it be that this function doesnt work for date types? Do i have to use calender as type? I already tried, but i got some error messages, that some objects are not defined, although i included all necessary files in the script, at least i believe i did. Which files do you have to include to work with the calender data type?



Thank you for your answers…

sorting

Default date sorting accepts dates only in mm/dd/yyyy format , but it possible to define custom sorting routines, so sorting can be adopted to any date format

still showing in the MM/DD/YYYY format.

The setDateFormat works only for calendar based excells ( it may be calendar, dhxCalendar or dhxCalendarA )

>>hat some objects are not defined, although i included all necessary files in the script, at least i believe i did
Please try to use any existing calendar sample as a base.
For calendar excell you need to include dhtmlxgrid_excell_calendar.js and correctly specify
   
For dhxCalendar you need to include
    codebase/dhtmlxcalendar.js
    codebase/dhtmlxgrid_excell_dhxcalendar.js
