Answer 1

Please refer to this pen: https://codepen.io/arnulfolg/pen/MebVgx

It uses //cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.8.4/moment.min.js and //cdn.datatables.net/plug-ins/1.10.12/sorting/datetime-moment.js for sorting datatable

To sort the table by default use:

$.fn.dataTable.moment('DD/MM/YY');
$('#example').DataTable({ 
       "order": [[ 3, "desc" ]] 
    });
