Is it possible to make ascending order for dates go from newest dates to oldest dates?

ex: After clicking on column header it should sort in ascending order(up arrow) with date form newest (13 Mar 2018) to oldest (05 Jan 2008).

@kthorngren Thanks for quick reply, I am already using Moment.js for date format like 05 Jan 2008. its sorting correctly by default ascending result is oldest date to newest and for descending newest to oldest but I need ascending result like newest (13 Mar 2018) to oldest (05 Jan 2008) and in descending result like oldest to newest dates.

Maybe you can use columns.render to provide the date in a format that the sort operation can use (without the ()) as described here:
