Title: Fix timestamp sorting in chrome

Timestamp sorting is currently broken in Chrome (but not FF/others). From searching around, it appears that there have been a few assorted Chrome/dataTable sorting bugs.

It turns out that setting sType to 'string' appears to work beautifully. The printed python datetime sorts naturally as a string, so we don't need to do any special parsing.

Tested briefly in latest Chrome/Safari/FF/Opera. No IE handy atm, but I don't anticipate a calamity.
