Force multi column sort

wolfbytes

Hi community,

is it possible to force multi column sort by default. I mean that a normal click on a header column triggers a multi column sort instead of the regular sort.

Thanks in Advance!

Multi-column ordering is covered in the docs:

Hi,

thanks for the fast anwser.

But i can't find how i can trigger the [SHIFT] + [LEFT MOUSE CLICK] behaviour with only a [LEFT MOUSE CLICK].

Can you tell me the phrase where i can find that?

Thanks in Advance!

That is exactly what the example @tangerine linked to is doing unless we've misunderstood what you are asking for. It applies a multi-column sort with a single click.

Hi,

in the link from @tangerine, i still have to hold on [SHIFT] for multi column sort.

As you said: Maybe we are talking about different things ;-)

Click on column 0 and it sorts by columns 0 and 1 - as the code shows.

Perhaps the problem is that DataTables doesn't show you that multi-column sort and you want that? If so, there is currently no option for that.
