How to sort date and string in same column?

amandeep_kaur

I have a table containing "Date(in format M/d like 'Aug-23')" and string(like 'process' and 'completed') in same column. But the issue is that it is sorted alphabetically not sort according to Date.
And structure of my file is:

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" class="init">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#sorting').dataTable( {
"dom": '<"top"iflp<"clear">>rt<"bottom"iflp<"clear">>'
} );
} );
</script>

CPA	Shipping
#123	Aug-28
#327	July-30
#789	Process

if i sort shipping column then it give result like

Process
Aug-28
July-30

But i want result like:
Process
July-30
Aug-28

means firstly string sorting and after that date sorting

And these shipping values are coming from Mysql database

How I solve this issue??
Any Suggestion??
