Disable sorting

venkats

Hi,
How to disable sorting for datatable. Currently, I am invoking the datatable as below:
$('#tbl1').dataTable({ "pagingType": "full_numbers" });
I do not want the sorting feature, but require paging.
How to achieve it?
Thanks

You want to add "ordering": false to your initialization. See ordering.

Example

If you only want to disable it for certain columns, see columnDefs.targets.

I added bSort:false. Is this correct?
$('#tbl1').dataTable({ "pagingType": "full_numbers", "bSort": false });
