ADF Unable to filter / sort date column in table

Question

Hi,
I am using JDeveloper 11.1.1.7.
I have a read only table inside a panel collection. One of the columns in the table is a date field. I have filterable and sortable properties set to true for all columns. Filter and sort property works for all columns expect the date column. The filter and sort options is not even shown for the date field (shown below).
<af:column headerText="#{bindings.ASRTCreateRequestVO1.hints.CreationDate.label}"
                                         id="c7" sortable="true" width="100"
                                         filterable="true">
                                <af:outputText value="#{row.CreationDate}"
                                               id="ot7">
                                  <af:convertDateTime pattern="#{bindings.ASRTCreateRequestVO1.hints.CreationDate.format}"/>
                                </af:outputText>
                              </af:column>
Please let me know if I am missing anything here.
Thanks,
Ashwin

Hi Ashwin,
As mentioned by Timo, for me also the filtering is working as usual.
But while browsing through the ADF UI Guide I came across with below note
If you want to use a component other than an inputText component for your filter (for example, an inputDate component), then instead of setting filterVisible to true, you can add the needed component to the filter facet.
To do so:
1. In the Structure window, right-click the column to be filtered and choose Insert inside af:column > JSF Core > Filter facet.
2. From the Component Palette, drag and drop a component into the facet.
3. Set the value of the component to the corresponding attribute within the FilterableQueryDescriptor class created in Step 1(not above step but you can find it in pg:390). Note that the value must take into account the variable used for the row, for example:
#{af:inputDate label="Select Date" id="name" value="row.filterCriteria.date"}.
This is in the section: 12.5.1 How to Add Filtering to a Table(pg:390).
I hope it helps.

Peddi.
