Answer 1

Look at this site. It looks like this is what you are trying to do. http://www.kryogenix.org/code/browser/sorttable/

Answer 2

when you pass string to Date constructor it's format is month/date/year .

since your date format is date-month-year . you can reformat it using regular expression.

$('tr.Entries').sort(function (a, b) {
    return new Date($(a).find($("[data-field-type='date']")).html().replace(/(\d{2})-(\d{2})-(\d{2})/g,'$2/$1/$3')).getTime() < new Date($(b).find($("[data-field-type='date']")).html().replace(/(\d{2})-(\d{2})-(\d{2})/g,'$2/$1/$3')).getTime()
}).appendTo('tbody');

Answer 3

I'd suggest:

$('tr.Entries').each(function() {
     var t = this.cells[1].textContent.split('-');
     $(this).data('_ts', new Date(t[2], t[1]-1, t[0]).getTime());
}).sort(function (a, b) {
    return $(a).data('_ts') < $(b).data('_ts');
}).appendTo('tbody');
