set order on orderable: false column

btree

Hi,

you can set the initial ordering of a datatable on a column which is not orderable by default. This will cause error in combination with server side handling (which caused me some troubles ).

Test case without server side, but you can still observe the default ordering:

The columns.orderable docs state this:

Using this parameter, you can remove the end user's ability to order upon a column.

Note that this option only effects the end user's ability to order a column. Developers are still able to order a column using the order option or the order() method if required.

What you described is expected behavior.

Ahh alright, thanks. Just need to be more careful with non orderable server side columns then.
