Default Sort / IE7 Slowness

vol7ron

[code]
var oSettings = {'aoColumns' : [{'bSortable':false},null,null,null,null],
'bPaginate' : false,
'bProcessing' : true,
'bSortClasses' : false,
'sScrollY' : '400px',
'bScrollCollapse' : true,
'bInfo' : false
};

$('#sometable').dataTable(oSettings);
[/code]

Besides accepting the fact that IE7-JS is slow, I'm trying to see where the hang is. After profiling, I've noticed that it is spending a lot of time calling 'numeric-asc'. So why would this occur if there is no sorting going on?

The default sort is occurring, regardless of your bSortable for the first column. Use aaSorting as an empty array if you want to disable initial sorting.

I haven't had time to check this in IE. Perhaps I will this week. I switched from loading an html table and converting it to a dataTable, to loading the data it via ajax + Scroller.

I don't want to rely on that method, since it is less accessible if JS is turned off, so if I can go back to a previous commit and test, perhaps turning off the default sort would be good enough.
