 * First, I really love your plugin 🙂
 * I use this wonderful plugin to show sport schedule at my site, but the problem
   is, the order sort is not right for date data.
 * Like you can see at my website, the DATE value is at second column, and I want
   the table automatically sort based on DATE value.
 * `[gdoc key="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1va2t4sDhw5hrnwYSIpSy5ZVxprYj824eq0yG3UTqMHs/
   edit?usp=sharing" datatables_order='%5B%5B 2, "asc" %5D%5D']`
 * The problem is, the order sort for DATE value still show wrong ordering, even
   when I do manually sort.
 * 24-Feb
    23-Feb 23-Feb 20-Feb 20-Feb 17-Feb 17-Feb 17-Feb 17-Feb 17-Feb 17-Feb
   17-Feb 15-Jul 14-Jul 12-Mar 12-Mar 11-Mar 11-Mar 11-Mar
 * As you can see, it only sort the date, but not date-month ordering.
    So what 
   solution for this problem? Thank you before
