Jquery Datatables (https://datatables.net/) got a plugin to sort durations. Unfortunately, it does not work when the duration is very long (230:59:59 as an example). This is how I did it, based on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30946698/custom-sort-durations-using-jquery-datatables. Original SO : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/40285331/s…

$.extend(jQuery.fn.dataTableExt.oSort, {
"duration-pre": function (s) {        
    var duration;      
    s = s.toLowerCase();
    if(s === 'n/a'){ 
        duration = -1;           
    } else {            
        d = s.match(/(?:(\d+):)?(?:(\d+):)?(?:(\d+):)?/);
        duration = parseInt(d[1] ? d[1] : 0) * 60 + parseInt(d[2] ? d[2] : 0) + parseInt(d[2] ? d[2] : 0) / 60;
    }
    return duration;
}
});
