"order" option but use columname instead of number

wyattbiker

Is there a way to define the order to use name of column instead of #?

columns: [ 
    {data: 'last'},
    {data: 'first}
],
order: [[ 'last'  ,asc]]

Would prefer something like above if that is possible or some other concept so if a columns position shifts it doesn't affect the ordering.

According to the order docs only the column index is supported.

The ability to use the column name (columns.name rather than columns.data) is something that I plan to introduce in future, but it currently is not supported.
