No sorting by default...

huyschi

Hi,
As far as I understand, the ordering (sorting) and search is available by default, so when the end user e.g. clicks a column header, the column gets sorted (either asc or desc).
Unfortunately it is not working, but the search function does.
Here is an extract of the code in question:
```

<% @events.each do |event| %> <% end %>

Name	Event type definition	Activities	Location	Trainer	From - To	Attendees	Status	Office	Vouchers
<%= event.name %>	<%= event.event_type_definition %>	Activities	Location	Trainer	From - To	Attendees	Status	Office	Vouchers	<%= link_to 'Show', event %>	<%= link_to 'Edit', edit_event_path(event) %>	<%= link_to 'Destroy', event, method: :delete, data: { confirm: 'Are you sure?' } %>

$(document).ready( function() { $('#dashboard').DataTable({ // responsive: true, // autoWidth: true, // dom: '<"datatable-header"fl><"datatable-scroll"t><"datatable-footer"ip>', // language: { // search: 'Filter: _INPUT_', // lengthMenu: 'Show: _MENU_', // paginate: { 'first': 'First', 'last': 'Last', 'next': '→', 'previous': '←' } // }, }); // $('#dashboard').footable({ // }); } );

```

I would very much appreciate any help on this. Thank you.

Nissim

@huyschi , please refer to the documentation for ordering. I assume

$('#example').dataTable( {
  "ordering": true
} );

Is what you're looking for. You may have to set this value to force it.

Kind regards,
David

Hi DAvid,

Thank you for your quick response.

I'll try it, eventhough the documantation says, it is by default activated.
