Table - initial view

MarcB

I would like to know if it is possible to preset the initial view upon loading the webpage.
I would like that the page load 50 entries and have the first column sorted in a descending order.

Here is the code I'm using. ( I would like not to use JS if possible)

Bulletins

Pub#	Type	Title
2017-04	RECALL	Hard Hats
2017-03	NEW	Plug Wiring

You don't seem to be using DataTables. Why are you posting in the DataTables forum?

Yup - this is a forum for the DataTables Javascript library. If you don't want to use Javascript, then I'm afraid DataTables wouldn't be for you (even if it does do what you need ). Perhaps post on a forum or StackOverflow that is specific to whatever server-side environment you are using (Ruby, Python, something else?).

ok, thanks.
I will check on StackOverflow.
