Sort on startup, and javascript sort

relipse

How can I sort my datatable as soon as it is loaded and also how do i use javascript to tell it to sort.
The implementation is adding rows, my boss wants the last edited item to be on the top.

Use aaSorting for initial sort and fnSort to perform a sort.

Thanks Allan, aaSorting worked good, one comment - it would be nice to specify the column key instead of the index (in case i switch orders around)
