Global sortable defaults for table

janni

Hi,
I have recently started using this plugin and I am very amazed with the features offered by this. I am currently using the sorting functinality for Swedish alphabets and found that it was not sorting correctly. I was just wondering is there any global sorting options that is available to use?

Try this plug-in. I haven't written it up in a blog post yet (will do soon) and it isn't yet on the DataTables CDN, but its just a few lines of code that make it possible to use the new i18n API in Javascript with DataTables' sorting.

Let me know how you get on with it!

Hi allan,
thabks for your quick response.
Here is the example fiddle. I am using alphabets (Å, Ä, Ö) which is getting sorted in wrong order.

It looks like you've got the plug-in code included, but not activated. Have a read through the comments at the top of the file I linked to, which has examples on how to use it as well.

Oops. Sorry for it. Thanks for the plugin and it works perfect

Awesome - that's great to hear. Its something I'm going to consider for direct inclusion in DataTables core in future.

Hej Allan,
I have problem in making it work in my project. I am a bit confused with optional arguments that is passed. could you please help with it.? I am calling the plugin first and then before I initialize my datatable. I am wondering if I have to pass any arguments locale or Collator(which is confusing)

$.fn.dataTable.ext.order.intl();
$(function () {

      $('.example-datatable').DataTable( {
            "language": {"url": "//cdn.datatables.net/plug-ins/9dcbecd42ad/i18n/Swedish.json"}
} );
