[R] [datatable-help] Error in structure(ordered, dim = ns) : dims [product 1] do not match the length of object [0]

You probably want to use %w instead of %u. On Linux 'man strftime' says
%w The day of the week as a decimal, range 0 to 6, Sunday being 0.
See also %u.
%u The day of the week as a decimal, range 1 to 7, Monday being 1.
See also %w. (SU)
where "(SU)" means "according to the Single Unix specification" and the lack
of "(...)" after %w means it is in some year's ANSI C standard. I assume Windows
does not attempt to subscribe to the Single Unix standard.
