Strange behaviour with default sort direction and stateSave

cht

Hi,

I'm using Datatables 1.10.0 and Scroller 1.2.2dev with stateSave, serverSide and ajax. I see a strange behaviour for the default sort direction and stateSave. Whenever the the sort-direction is ascending and you re-enter the page you need to click two times on the header in order to sort descending.

My testsystem is: http://tinyurl.com/l2ne36t Your login is: allan / 1234

Debug information: http://debug.datatables.net/epecoz

To see the issue do the following:

• After login you will be taken to a page called "Mandators - selection".
• The table is sorted ascending over the first column by default.
• Click on the 'Filter' Tab and then on 'List' Tab
• Click on the header of the first Column to sort descending -> Data is loaded but not descending
• Click again on the header of the first Column to sort descending -> Data is loaded descending

I hope, you can follow my description. If you need more information to analyze this, please let me know.

Cheers, Christian

Hi Christian,

Thanks for your clear explanation and access to the page so I can see what is happening. What you are seeing is a bug in DataTables 1.10.0 I'm sorry to say. Could you update to the very latest nightly which contains a fix for this (I've been working improving the state saving in the last few days and this bug has been fixed as a result). The nightly is available at:

• http://datatables.net/download/build/nightly/jquery.dataTables.min.js?_=b1a90f27db33eca46145cfe61f6c8978

Let me know how you get on with it!

Regards,
Allan

Excellent to hear. Thanks for the feedback!

I'm going to be packaging DataTables and the extensions up for a new release soon.
