Sorting breaks rowRender

SaH

I have logic that picks particular rows I want to give a CSS-class, but when I use sorting that is different to the initialized one, the class gets applied to the wrong row.

How is this fixable?
Is it possible to add class to the parent <tr> when using the ["render" : function]? (This would be the easiest as I am styling the text in the <th> and want to give this row a background color.

I'm assuming this is a duplicate to your question in this thread?

If so please don't duplicate questions.

columns.render is intended for data. To manipulate the tr you can use createdRow or if the data changes use rowCallback. You can also use columns.createCell for the td.

If this doesn't help then please post a link to your page or a test case replicating the issue. This will allow us to see what you are doing to help debug.

Sorry about duplicating my question; As I saw that the post was over a year old I posted this here. Won't do it again.
