/**
* When dealing with time elapsed, it is common to append a post fix
* such as d(day), h(hour), m(minute) or s(second) to a string in order to easily denote the brief duration
* of the time span from now. This plug-in allows sorting to take these
* indicates of size into account.
*
* A counterpart type detection plug-in is also available.
*
* @name Time span
* @summary Sort abbreviated time span correctly (2d 3h, 2h 8m, 3m 8s, 30s, etc)
* @author Allan Jardine - datatables.net

* @example
* $('#example').DataTable( {
* columnDefs: [
* { type: 'time-elapsed-dhms', targets: 0 }
* ]
* } );
