1: { sorter: "shortDate", dateFormat: "ddmmyyyy" }, // set day first format
2: { sorter: "shortDate", dateFormat: "yyyymmdd" } // set year first format

<em>NOTE!</em>
<ul>
<li>The dateFormat option was modified in version 2.0.23 (not part of the original plugin).</li>
<li>The date can be separated by any of the following: slash, dash, period, comma, space(s) or tab (/-., ).</li>
<li>This date format parser will only work with a four digit year. You can <ahref="example-parsers.html">write your own</a> if you need a two digit year parser.</a>
