With the latest version 2.18.4 you can simply do like this.Just give the default date format and in the particular column set the column date format this will work ONLY with 'shortDate' sorter.

$('YourTable').tablesorter(
            {
                dateFormat:'mmddYYYY',
                headers: {
                    0: { sorter: false },
                    1: { sorter: true},
                    2: { sorter: true },
                    3: { sorter: true },
                    4: { sorter: "shortDate", dateFormat: "ddmmyyyy" },
                    5: { sorter: true },
                    6: { sorter: false },
                    7: { sorter: false },
                    8: { sorter: false },
                    9: { sorter: false },
                    10: { sorter: false },
                    11: { sorter: false }

                }
            });
