Datatables 1.10 - HTML5 "data-order" and "data-filter" attr takes no effect.

PCSPCS Posts: 2Questions: 1Answers: 0

I am building the datatable dynamically with json objects. I have few columns that have <input> and <select> HTML elements.
The global search or the sort doesn't work for these HTML elements. Hence I thought of using data-order and data-filter attributes.
In the "createdCell" callback function I add these attributes to the <td>, but sorting or searching is still not working on those columns.

Please help

Thanks

    The data attributes do work but they aren't designed for use with Ajax sourced data. Rather they are for use with HTML sourced tables.

    Instead, what I would suggest you do is use columns.render as a function and return the orthogonal data for each option from there. For more information see the orthogonal data manual page.
