I got the solution with the sorting of date. Just add type as 'date' and in targets, you have pass column number(count start from 0) with datatable options. And set 'order' with column number and type of format. See below code,

columnDefs: [ { type: 'date', 'targets': [4] } ],
order: [[ 4, 'desc' ]]
