How do I make DataTables not sort the table on page load?

mikerobinson

Just as the title says. I want the page to be sorted by the server first and only sorted by DataTables when a user clicks on one of the headers. I have tried [code]"bSort": false[/code], but this removes all sorting completely. How do I make it so that the table is sortable, but doesn't get sorted until a user clicks on one of the headers?

Use , "aaSorting": [] // <-- empty array
