How to prevent the page jumping to top when sorting

islamelshobokshy

As the header says, when I sort, the page goes to the top each and every time, how can I prevent that, so it would sort and stay where it is?

I'm bumping this, as there are no other discussions talking about it with a reply

Take a look at this thread here - it's not possible to do...

My problem is not going to the first page (as I do not have any pagination anyway). My problem is that if I scroll a little bit, and then click on sort, the page itself goes to the top, and doesn't stay a bit scrolled. Do you know what I mean?

I think the problem comes from the fact when I sort, the processing: true redraws my table, and thus scrolling the page to the top.

We're happy to take a look if you can provide a working example demonstrating the problem,

I found the answer, I'll put it here for reference. You should add this to your datatables to save the current scroll position before redrawing it :

"preDrawCallback": function (settings) {
    pageScrollPos = $('body').scrollTop();
},
"drawCallback": function (settings) {
    $('body').scrollTop(pageScrollPos);
},
