orderMulti
Multiple column ordering ability control.
Description
When ordering is enabled (ordering), by default DataTables allows users to sort multiple columns by shift clicking upon the header cell for each column. Although this can be quite useful for users, it can also increase the complexity of the order, potentiality increasing the processing time of ordering the data. Therefore, this option is provided to allow this shift-click multiple column ability.
Note that disabling this ability does not impede your ability as a developer to do multiple column ordering using columns.orderData, order or order(), it just disallows the user from performing their own multi-column order.
Type

Default
