Columns not sorting when using default search field

Columns not sorting when using default search field

I ran into an interesting issue recently. Viewable at http://wp.arcanewonders.com/mw/

If you filter the second table using the "Search all fields:" search field (its the default field added by DataTables) and then try to sort the results the table doesn't update. It sorts it internally but doesn't refresh the view. If you clear the field you can see it has sorted the data but just not displayed it.

Is there a way to override the display and force a refresh? Or is it a configuration issue? This is the code that I am using to init the table

[code]
listTable.dataTable({
oLanguage: { "sSearch": "Search all fields:"},
sDom: 'fptil',
sScrollY: "300px",
bPaginate:false,
aoColumnDefs: [{
aTargets:[0,1,2,3],
bSortable:true
}, {
aTargets:[4,5],
bSortable:false
}],
fnRowCallback:function(nRow) {
var tr = $(nRow)
$('td:nth-child(5)', tr).text(getCardAmount(tr))
}
})
[/code]

    Possibly bad timing, but I'm not actually seeing any tables on the page you linked to. DO I need to do something to make this visible?

    Select "New" from the Spellbook menu and then enter a name for the Spellbook and select a Wizard. Its for a game company :-)

    Ah thanks! I was using Safari 5 (old old...) and the page just wasn't doing very much.

    So I think the problem comes from an old version of DataTables 1.10-wip. Could you try the latest DataTables from here http://datatables.net/download/build/nightly/jquery.dataTables.js ?

    Thanks,
    Allan
