How to add default sort in server side proccessing

drycrushader

Hi, please tell me how to add default sort in server side proccessing.
I use this script to init.

$('#datatablecategory').DataTable({
"processing": true,
"stateSave": true,
"serverSide": true,
"ajax": "datatable.php",
columns: [
{ data: "$.category_menu" },
{ data: "c.category_name" },
{ data: "c.category_slug" },
{ data: "c.category_view" }
],
"autoWidth": false
});

Now, I want to know how to sort by "c.category_created_date" (for example) if I dont display category_created_date at datatable?

order. The default is column index 0, ascending.

Thanks Allan for your respond.
Now I found the solution, is to set the column into not visible.
And yeah, I use "order" option after that.

Once again. Thanks Allan.
