Sort a JTable with date in a column

I have a JTable that has a column with a date in this format: "Mon Nov 19 18:03:23 WET 2018". I want to sort my rows by the date.
I've tried using TableRowSorter but I can't sort it by the date.
Is that any way?



TableRowSorter<DefaultTableModel> sorter = new TableRowSorter<DefaultTableModel> (tableModel);
timeline.setRowSorter(sorter);


I add the content to the rows like this:



tableModel.addRow(new Object{"Twitter", t.getCreatedAt().toString(), t.getText()});


Thanks :)

    "Is that any way?" - Convert the "text' to an actual comparable value, like LocalDateTime, then it will work automagically

    getCreatedAt suggests that the values are already some kind of date/time value. Stop converting them to strings and use TableCellRenderers to "display" the data. This is a common task, which is demonstrated in How to use tables along with sorting

  • I've removed the ".toString()" in getCreatedAt(), now how can I sort the column by date?

  • As per the Sorting and Filtering section, you implement the TableRowSorter. Appreciate that SO is not a replacement for good documentation, tutorials and effort. If you have tried implementing the functionality as described, you should also provide that in your post, then we will be in a better position to guide you

    DefaultTableModel does not provide the type of each column, since it does not override getColumnClass. This means that, in addition to removing the toString from your data, you will need to tell the sorter to use a non-string comparator for that column. For instance, sorter.setComparator(1, Comparator.naturalOrder());
