Bug with Internationalisation

kelu

I got this error: TypeError: oAria is undefined (the error is in 4590 line of jquery.dataTables.js file version 1.10.2)

It happens when I use internationalisation like this one: http://www.datatables.net/plug-ins/i18n/Polish

I use version 1.10.2 and it happens also on 1.9.4 as far as I checked.

The bug happens when I use a function oTable.fnSort( [ [5,'desc'] ] ); to sort some column by default.

My code is here: http://jsfiddle.net/uszt9xyy/

$(document).ready(function() {
    var oTable = $('#example').dataTable({
        oLanguage: {
            "sUrl": "data_tables.txt"
        }
    });
    oTable.fnSort( [ [4,'desc'] ] );
} );

Here is live "working" version: http://kelostrada.pl/upload/test.html

@up - I think it's a proper bug report, so please look into it.

The problem is that you are calling fnSort before the Ajax language file has been loaded. What you should do is use initComplete:

$(document).ready(function() {
    var oTable = $('#example').dataTable({
        oLanguage: {
            "sUrl": "data_tables.txt"
        },
        initComplete: function () {
             oTable.fnSort( [ [4,'desc'] ] );   
        }
    });
} );

Or better yet, it you want to set a default sort, just use the order option:

$(document).ready(function() {
    var oTable = $('#example').dataTable({
        oLanguage: {
            "sUrl": "data_tables.txt"
        },
        order: [ [4,'desc'] ]
    });
} );

My bad then, sorry and thank you :) I think order doesn't work in 1.9.x

No - in 1.9- it was called aaSorting .

Oh thank you, I was looking for that.
