jQuery DataTables: is there a way to detect date format automatically?

I have a datatable up and running and at the moment I have defined the date format manually by adding

$.fn.dataTable.moment("DD.MM.YYYY");

before defining my datatable itself:

var myTable = $('#authors').DataTable({
    "paging": false,
    "ordering": true,
    "order": [2, "desc"],
    "info": false,
    "stateSave": true,
    "responsive": true,
    "columnDefs": [
        { targets: "noSort", orderable: false }
    ]       
});

As you can see, we are currently using the German date format. But it can be the case that we have to use other formats later that year.

Is there a way to detect the value of a given date column automatically so that I can sort that column correctly? Or will I always have to define the date format manually?

What I want to have is kind of a dynamic version of the line

$.fn.dataTable.moment("DD.MM.YYYY");

It should detect, "oh, the value in that column is '29.04.2019', this is a German date format, defined as dd.mm.yyyy" and use this format for further sorting.

Or if the value is "04/29/2019" instead, this should be recognized as a US date format, using 'mm/dd/yyyy' for sorting.
