Sort visible column by a hidden column

gardelea

Hi all,

I was wonder if there is an existing means to sort one column by another column that happens to be invisible? I noticed someone posted this very question but they were doing it with server-side processing. I am looking to do this all client side.

thanks,

george .

Hi George,

It certainly does exist: iDataSort is the parameter you are looking for: http://datatables.net/usage/columns#iDataSort

i remembered seeing it was possible somewhere, but could not for the life of me remember where i saw it documented.
