I have a date column in my table. Using "User Defined XSL Transformation" table because I can't style the table using datagrid.

Now if someone clicks the "date" header it doesn't sort correctly. My date format is like this: Tu. 24-02-09. If this column get's sorted, it sorts by the first character, like the date is plain text. So all Tuesdays, Wednesdays etc. get sorted below eachother alphabetically. Of course I want it to sort by the actual date (year, month, day).

Is this a bug? Or how can I fix this?

edit: It would actually be best if I can specify which columnheaders are clickable. So users can't sort by date. I don't know how to do this. I've based this table on the AdvancedTable template. Any way to edit this xsl to specify which columnheaders are clickable instead of all columnheaders?

Good question. XSL knows nothing about date and time datatypes, it simply handles them as string.
You can download the xsl and modify the file offline and upload it again. The file is located in /DesktopModules/UserDefinedTable/XslStylesheets

Yeah I know how to edit the xsl, I just don't know what to edit to make it do what I want it to do :)

I've created a bypass though. I added a div to the xsl that's positioned on top of the table headers with a transparent gif. I gave it the correct width and position to cover the headers I don't want people to click. It's ugly but it works.
