Map columns with data

Razorblade

Hi everyone,
it is possible to configure the Datatable to have custom position for columns that doesn't respect the order received from the data?
To do an example, if in my remote data I have the 'name' value that is in position 0 ( ZERO ) and I want to render it in my SECOND column (so not the first), can I do it? Which kind of configuration do I need to pass to Datatable?

I currently tried to add this configuration for the 'columns' config key:

"columns": [
{
"data": 1,
"name": "Position"
},
{
"data": 0,
"name": "Name"
},
{
"data": 2,
"name": "Office"
},
{
"data": 3,
"name": "External"
},
{
"data": 4,
"name": "Start date"
},
{
"data": 5,
"name": "Salary"
}
]

But the table still renders the 'name' data in the first column and 'position' in the second.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Cheers

Nevermind,
my configuration was fine,
the issue I had was related to a functionality in my code
that runs just before rendering
and transform 'conlumns' config entry.

As you have found you absolutely can do that with arrays. You might want to consider using objects as a data source in future as it can make thinks much easier to understand.
