Sort Date in a specific format in EXTJS

Question

I have a Date column in a Ext JS grid with its display format like: "Jan 22,2014 08:43:21". My problem is how to sort with this format, currently it is sorted follow String format.

Example, when I have 2 rows with corresponding values are:

"Jan 22,2014 08:43:21" 
"Nov 20,2013 08:43:21"

My expectation after sorting ASC is that the second row will be showed first, cause 20/11/2013 is before 22/01/2014, but it is sorting by String format, so the result is incorrect.

Could you please help me on this? Thank you very much.

One way of doing that is to use sorterFn, fiddle here: https://fiddle.sencha.com/#fiddle/2u7
