Error when attempting to sort table columns

timbcusick

This error occurs on any column that the user attempts to sort.

Error is:
jquery.dataTables.js:6129 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot create property 'length' on number '2'
at _fnSortListener (jquery.dataTables.js:6129)

Oddly in _fnSortListener the sorting variable is set to 2, but then later the code is attempting to set sorting.length = 0 which is where it fails understandably.

Hi Tim,

Thanks for the debug trace. Do you happen to know which table it is that is triggering the error? There are 11 tables on the page.

Thanks,

Hi Allan,

Yeah sorry should have been more specific. custom-bulkedit is one that is throwing it, but I believe it's any of the *-bulkedit tables

Hi Tim,

Thanks! I think this is the issue:

"order": 2,

The order option takes a 2D array, not just a single integer. If you use:

order: [[ 2, 'asc' ]]

that should resolve the issue.

Thanks Allan. That was it!
