Sorting tables in reverse order

ismamartinez

Hi!
You can see my example here:
http://americantipster.com/?page_id=43

What I would like is the tables to show up on the vertical reverse order, I mean 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 ... and when I add a 6 it should be on top, and the same when I add a 7, and on and on...

What do I have to change?

Thanks in advance!
Isma

Use assorting to specify the initial sort applied to the table: http://datatables.net/ref#aaSorting

I know just a little about coding. Could you tell me where do I have to add the code (I a working on WordPress last version)?
And if you could tell me the code to show the whole table the [asc] order would be awesome!
Thanks!

You'd do it just like the example in the documentation. Use `[[ 0, 'desc' ]]` as the array value for aaSorting and you'd add that option into the code where you initialise the DataTable.

This is my table:

And this the code I added:

But it doesn't sort in reverse order.

Are you not getting a JS error on your console?

1. What is `A` ? It should be a column index like the documentation says
2. Why is there a closing brace? Does whatever plug-in you are using need that?

No error at all. Take a look at http://americantipster.com/?page_id=43

1. A is the column I want to lead the sorting. Which one is the column index I should use?
2. I took off the brace and didn't work either. The plugin I am using is TablePress.

Looks like an error to me:

> ReferenceError: Can't find variable: A

Replace it with a 0 - i.e. the column index.

Done,

but still looking the same.

Allan, I don't mind giving you an admin access if you want to try.

allan

Hum:

> "bSort":false

But you want a sort?! :-)

ismamartinez

I want the table to be ruled by the content on the column A (1,2,3,4,5,...)
To be shown as ...,5,4,3,2,1

allan

Okay - so you want to sort on column index 0, as I have said, But you have specifically disabled sorting, so obviously sorting is not going to occur.

Allan

I enabled sorting and used 0 as column index and doesn't works.

Why aren't you asking TablePress about this?

You are using a 1D array. I specifically gave you a 2D array, and the documentation clearly states that aaSorting uses a 2D array. Please see my comment above and read the documentation.
