Get index of last column

phsycomig

I want to sort my datatable by the last column (as i use same script for all my tables, this number will be dynamic and hardly ever the same but always the last column)

Hi @phsycomig ,

You can just query the DOM, something like this,

Hello @colin

Sorry for the delay, i did not get any notification about any replies.

i get this error when i try

Edit

I just found out, that it works perfectly, except if i have multiple table in the same view
https://www.datatables.net/examples/basic_init/multiple_tables.html

hence why i dont have any real id in my datatable, do you know a way to fix that?

Hi @phsycomig ,

Could you modify my example above please to demonstrate your issue - it'll make clearer what your environment is then.

Cheers,

I tried to modify it as good as i could @colin

I had to outcomment your order line, in order to make the datatables work. this is the issue i am having, as i have multiple tables in the same view, so i cannot provide any id for my table, as there could be multiple of the same table in the same view if you know what i mean

Hi @phsycomig ,

Ah, I see - you can iterate through the tables like this - note they have different numbers of columns,
