Columns and IDs Sorting

xtremer360

Is it possible to do an if statement that will only make certain columns sortable if they have certain ids? This is something I want to employ on a global scale for all of my tables so that I don't have to keep repeating the same code.

Not Ids, but classes - yes:

[code]
aoColumnDefs: [
{
aTargets: [ 'no-sortable' ],
bSortable: false
]
[/code]

So this is the correct way to perform this in a global js file.

[code]
/* DataTables */
if ($('.dynamicTable').size() > 0)
{
$('.dynamicTable').dataTable({
"sPaginationType": "bootstrap",
"sDom": "<'row-fluid'<'span6'l><'span6'f>r>t<'row-fluid'<'span6'i><'span6'p>>",
"oLanguage": {
"sLengthMenu": "_MENU_ records per page"
},
aoColumnDefs: [{
aTargets: [ 'check', 'id', 'actions', 'created'],
bSortable: false
}]
});
}
[/code]

I'm worried that this won't do anything. I have 20+ tables and share similar table headers on some of them. I want it to look for each class and if it matches one to an array of classes then it makes that table header column nonsortable.
