You can also use this with classes assigned to your columns making your code easier to maintain if you add columns later on.

HTML

<table id="tblCashFlow" class="table table-striped table-bordered"
           cellspacing="0" width="100%">
        <thead>            
            <tr>
                <th>Element</th>
                <th class="noSort"><?php echo $en?('Payment Date'):('Zahlungsdatum');?></th>
                <th class="hiddenCols"><?php echo $en?('Interest Date'):('Zins-Sichtag');?></th>
            </tr>
        </thead>
    </table>     

Javascript

columnDefs: [
 { targets: "noSort", orderable: false },
 { targets: "hiddenCols", visible: false},
