+ * Adds a new sorting option to dataTables called `datetime-us`.
+ * 
+ * Also included is a type detection plug-in. Matches and sorts date / time
+ * strings in the format: `(m)m/(d)d/(yy)yy (h)h/m(m) (am|pm)`. For example:
+ *
+ * * 1/1/13 1:4 pm
+ * * 01/01/2013 01:04 PM
+ * * 1/1/2013 1:04 Pm
+ *
+ * Please note that this plug-in is **deprecated*. The
+ * [datetime](//datatables.net/blog/2014-12-18) plug-in provides enhanced
+ * functionality and flexibility.
+ *
+ *  @name Date / time - US
+ *  @summary Sort date / time in the format `m/d/yy h:m am|pm`
+ *  @author [Kevin Gravier](http://mrkmg.com/)
+ *  @deprecated
+ *
+ *  @example
+ *    $('#example').dataTable( {
+ *       columnDefs: [
+ *         { type: 'datetime-us', targets: 0 }
+ *       ]
+ *    } );
