orderable on a column after data has returned from the server

chopstik

Hi I have a column which I want users to be able to order. The DT is receiving its data from the server, and that column of data in particular is a virtual field and the database cannot order on it without significant intervention and data manipulation prior to send it to the DOM. Before that process, will DT allow me any method/option to order the server supplied column of data once its been received?

Hi @chopstick ,

No, I'm afraid. If you have enabled serverSide, then the server is responsible for sending the response ordered - the client isn't expected to do anything (it can't as it doesn't have access to all the data),

Cheers,

Colin
