Remove sort icons when table is ordered

sbarnett

If I use the following config on my table:-

$('#id_stats').dataTable({
    order: [[ 9, 'desc' ], [ 8, 'desc' ]],
    columnDefs: [
        { orderable: false, targets: [ "_all" ] },
    ]
});

I'd expect the sorting icon to not appear on any of the columns. But it doesn't seem to matter what I do, the icon is always on both the columns I've ordered on (8 and 9).

How I can order by those two columns but not allow the user to order on those columns?

The order icon shows based on the programmatically set order, as well as the end user order. You'd need to remove the styling of the icons in the CSS (or override them) to remove them if you don't want them at all.
