1. the parsers option takes an array of strings. Each string in the array corresponds to a column in your table. If you want the first column to use date, and the rest just use default, you use this:
parsers: ['date'], defaultParser: 'string' 2. It sorts for me on one click, I don't need 2 clicks. I'm using Chrome. 3. Sorting the other columns works fine, but your date column is not in the same Date.parse format. You could either right you're own with HtmlTable.defineParsers, or another way that I would do it when making the is you might put the Unix timestamp in the title of each table cell for the date column, and then sort that column via "title". http://jsfiddle.net/seanmonstar/3cLyK/ http://mootools.net/docs/more/Interface/HtmlTable.Sort#HtmlTable:Parsers
