No automatic resorting

johnblythe

hey hey!

i've got a DT sorting according to html5 data- attributes. once a user works on the item, however, the value may change. at that point, though, i don't want it to resort. is there a quick and easy way to turn off continued/automatic sorting on DT?

thanks!

The next time DataTables does a full redraw it will resort the table - it is no way around that. The only option would be to not tell it that the data has changed (which I presume you are doing using row().invalidate() or similar).

Cool, thanks for the info. Actually I'd failed to mention it is also employing Editor. So I've got something like this:

{
            label: "Offer Item #",
            name: "offerItem",
            type: "select2",
            opts: {....
            onChange: function(e) {
                    // submit it
                    editor.submit();
            }

Hopefully that is helpful in figuring out a good solution!
