Column-reorder event never has property 'drop' set to true

chiloutus

Hi,

I'm having an issue where I want to be able to key into when a column is placed on the table rather than when the user is just moving columns around the table. From reading the documentation it seems like I need to check if details.drop from the events paramaters is true at that point, but it seems like this column-reorder event is not fired when the user drops the column. Am I missing something here?

Test case attached: http://jsfiddle.net/w49ru5no/

Thanks for the great work on this plugin :)

So after some investigation it seems like this line in
datatables.colreorder.js 146

/* Sanity check in the input */
if ( iFrom == iTo )
{
    /* Pointless reorder */
    return;
}

catches the drop event and returns before propogating the event further. Should this attempt to propogate the event further if it is a drop event? Maybe something like

/* Sanity check in the input */
if ( iFrom == iTo && !drop)
{
    /* Pointless reorder */
    return;
}

(Assuming you are using colReorder extension)
this happened to me a week ago, it was driving me insane.
finally i found out that detais.drop is incompatible with realtime.
once i set colReorder with realtime: false this property is set to true.

More description of my problem in the discussion that i created.

Hope this can help you.

Hey gabodawn, thanks for your response. I did come across that but I thought (incorrectly) it would be unrelated. I'll check that out, thanks!
