    $.tablesorter.addParser({
        id: 'germanDate',
        is: function(s) {
            return false;
        },
        format: function(s) {
            var dateMatches = s.match(/([0-9]{1,2})\.([0-9]{1,2})\.([0-9]{2,4}) ([0-9]{1,2}):([0-9]{1,2})/i);
            return dateMatches[3]+dateMatches[2]+dateMatches[1]+dateMatches[4]+dateMatches[5];
        },
        // set type, either numeric or text
        type: 'numeric'
    });

    $('#tblApps').tablesorter({
        sortList: [[1,0]],
        headers: {
            0: { sorter: false },
            2: { sorter: 'germanDate' },
            3: { sorter: false }
