/**
 * Comparator comparing {@see JsmTr} objects where the sort column is composed of date values
 * Uses the date script (which has to be loaded in your page) of Matt Kruse:  http://www.JavascriptToolbox.com/lib/date/
 * This library will recognize some common date patterns. If this does not work use the setFormat function on this comparator
 * before first using the {@see JsmTable#sort} function. 
 * If you need to specify multiple date formats in a single html page you will need to use the {@see JsmTh#setOnClick} function
 * to specify the format of the comparator before the {@see JsmTable#sort} function is called.
 * @class Comparator comparing {@see JsmTr} objects where the sort column is composed of date values
 * @constructor
 * @param {JsmTr} o1 The first row
 * @param {JsmTr} o2 The second row
