            Here the code:


           jQuery.extend(jQuery.fn.dataTableExt.oSort, {
             "date-uk-pre": function ( a ) {
              var ukDatea = a.split('-');
              return (ukDatea[2] + ukDatea[1] + ukDatea[0]) * 1;
           },


            "date-uk-asc": function ( a, b ) {
                return ((a < b) ? -1 : ((a > b) ? 1 : 0));
             },

            "date-uk-desc": function ( a, b ) {
               return ((a < b) ? 1 : ((a > b) ? -1 : 0));
              }
            });
