I am assuming based on your questing you are not able to sort your table by using jQuery plugins you have used.

For sorting your table first of all you have to add css and js file (check in following code and then in javascript code give your table ID (here id is example).

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">

        <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/jquery.dataTables.min.css">
    <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.3.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="js/jquery.dataTables.js"></script>

    <script>
$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#example').DataTable( {
        "order": [[ 3, "desc" ]]
    } );
} );
</script>

    </head>
<body>
<table id="example" class="display" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
        <thead>
            <tr>
                <th>Name</th>
                <th>Position</th>
                <th>Office</th>
                <th>Age</th>
                <th>Start date</th>
                <th>Salary</th>
            </tr>
        </thead>

        <tfoot>
            <tr>
                <th>Name</th>
                <th>Position</th>
                <th>Office</th>
                <th>Age</th>
                <th>Start date</th>
                <th>Salary</th>
            </tr>
        </tfoot>

        <tbody>
            <tr>
                <td>Tiger Nixon</td>
                <td>System Architect</td>
                <td>Edinburgh</td>

            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td>Garrett Winters</td>

                <td>Tokyo</td>
                <td>63</td>
                <td>2011/07/25</td>
                <td>$170,750</td>
            </tr>
            <tr>

                <td>$433,060</td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
