Sorting a UK date

japinjapan

I have searched the forum on this subject, but because I have no experience in scripting, I haven't been able to work through any of the answers to similar questions.

I have a simple data table that I want to be able to sort by text, numbers, currency and dd/mm/yyyy dates. I have copied this page: https://datatables.net/manual/styling/classes and have pasted a sample of my data into it, and have deleted the elements around the table that I don't need. This is the page I have created: http://jacquelinechandler.com/test/Default%20styling%20options.html All seems fine, except the issue with sorting of dates.

Is there a quick change I can make to the site.js file so it handles UK date formats rather than US? I know the code is more complex and powerful than for what I need, but apart from the date issue, it is working.
