sort asc on class

tuurtnt@hotmail.com

Is it possible to add a classname (defaultsort) to a TH, so that datatables always sorts on this column?

Something like this should do the trick:

[code]
$('#example').dataTable({
"aaSorting": [[$('#example thead tr th').index($('th.defaultsort')[0]), 'asc']]
});
[/code]

thanks! is it also possible to do this within:

this doesn't work...

[code]
"aoColumnDefs": [
{
"aaSorting": [[$('#DTsortable thead tr th').index($('th.sortdefault')[0]), 'asc']],
"aTargets": [ 'sortdefault' ]
}
]
[/code]

There is no aaSorting option for a column definition ( http://datatables.net/usage/columns ) - so no that wouldn't work. aaSorting is a general initialisation option, not a column specific one (since it can span multiple columns).
