+ * recognise. The following is a plug-in for sorting dates in the format 
+ * `dd/mm/yy`.
+ * 
+ * An automatic type detection plug-in is available for this sorting plug-in.
+ *
+ * Please note that this plug-in is **deprecated*. The
+ * [datetime](//datatables.net/blog/2014-12-18) plug-in provides enhanced
+ * functionality and flexibility.
