You can use the order option to set the initial order of the table.

@kthorngren , Assume this is the grouped table looks like table avaible in this https://datatables.net/examples/advanced_init/row_grouping.html, I want first group to display is London then Newyork group data and then Edinburg. How to achieve this

You might want to look at the RowGroup Extension. I think it started from this example and grew into a full solution.

Sorry, misunderstood your original question. You will use Orthogonal Data to define a different ordering. You can do some sort of mapping that is assigned to the sort operation. For example London=1, Now York=2, Edinburg=3. Then sorting of that column will occur on the numbers.
