Changing data-order after initialization?

Neekasa

Hello :)

I was wondering if there was a way of Re-initializing the sorting after changing a data-order attribute on a table cell?

$('#'+userID).children('td:eq(2)').attr('data-order', statusord);

I use draw() after but it doesn't seem to do anything.

Thanks for the help!

I've put a solution in to just destroy() the table then re-initialize it, which seems to be working great.

Sorry for the brain meltdown (too little sleep is bad...)

destroy() is the heavy handed approach ;-). It will work, but it is better to simply call row().invalidate(). Then when you call draw, or when DataTables next sorts the data, it will read the new value, since the old one has been invalidated. This is far more efficient.

It's working wonders, the new API is brilliant, thank you for updating DT so much :)
