Editor.add() pushes the element to the head instead of appends to the end

zipper

This makes the order of the fields reversed.
[code]
var editor = new $.fn.dataTable.Editor({
table: '#example'
});

    for (var i = 0; i<json.tb_titles.length; i++){
      var predecessor = (i == 0) ? null : json.tb_titles[i-1];
      editor.add({
          label: json.tb_titles[i],
          name: json.tb_field_names[i]
        },predecessor);
    }

[/code]

Could you send me the contents of your json object so I can attempt to recreate this please?

Thanks,
Allan

The json object:

{
    tb_titles: ['ID',
        'Product Name',
        'Catalogue',
        'Description',
        'Create Time',
        'Status'
    ],
    tb_field_names: ['id',
        'name',
        'catalogue',
        'description',
        'create_time',
        'status'
    ],
    tb_data: [
        [1,
            'as_o_agent',
            'nibiru',
            'Act as orionation agent',
            '2017-03-02T12:20:45.000Z',
            'active'
        ],
        [2,
            'as_t_agent',
            'nibiru',
            'Act as termination agent',
            '2017-03-05T03:51:49.000Z',
            'active'
        ]
    ]
}

I have to do bellow to fix:

var r_count = json.tb_titles.length;
for (var i = r_count; i > 0;) {
  var predecessor = (i == r_count) ? null : json.tb_titles[i];
  editor.add({
    label: json.tb_titles[--i],
    name: json.tb_field_names[i]
  }, predecessor);
}

Hi,

Sorry for the long delay in getting back to you about this. The problem is in how the predecessor variable is being set - it should be using json.tb_field_names. As the add() documentation notes it is the field.name that should be given as the predecessor.

var predecessor = (i == r_count) ? null : json.tb_file_names[i];

allows it to work as expected.
