/**
 * DataTables internal date sorting replies on `Date.parse()` which is part of 
 * the Javascript language, but you may wish to sort on dates which is doesn't 
 * recognise. The following is a plug-in for sorting dates in the format 
 * `dd/mm/yy`.
 * 
 * An automatic type detection plug-in is available for this sorting plug-in.
 *
 * Please note that this plug-in is **deprecated*. The
 * [datetime](//datatables.net/blog/2014-12-18) plug-in provides enhanced
 * functionality and flexibility.
