If you are using date/time format like mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm then use below

$.tablesorter.addParser({ 
        id: "customDate",
        is: function(s) {
            //return false;
            //use the above line if you don't want table sorter to auto detected this parser                        
            //21/04/2010 03:54 is the used date/time format 
            return /\d{1,2}\/\d{1,2}\/\d{1,4} \d{1,2}:\d{1,2}/.test(s);
        },
        format: function(s) {
            s = s.replace(/\-/g," ");
            s = s.replace(/:/g," ");
            s = s.replace(/\./g," ");
            s = s.replace(/\//g," ");
            s = s.split(" ");                       
            return $.tablesorter.formatFloat(new Date(s[2], s[1]-1, s[0], s[3], s[4]).getTime());                                         
        },
        type: "numeric"} );
