I have a table that is sorted on a given column. If I update the row such that the data in the sorted column changes, what do I need to do to have DataTables move the row to the correct sorted location?

    Call the draw() method. That will trigger a resort if required.

    Thanks. I was calling draw(), but not until after I'd either shown or hidden a child row. Seems if I call draw() before manipulating the child status, the re-sort happens as expected, but if I call it after, it doesn't.

    Not sure whether that is expected behaviour, but anyway it's fixed for me!
