SearchPanes: using order in dtOpts with multiple columns

montoyam

unless my syntax is incorrect, If you have multiple columns included in your searchPane and you want to sort one column desc, all the other columns are sorted desc as well

in case that link doesn't work, I basically added a second column to an existing example someone posted:
http://live.datatables.net/toraqudo/9/edit

            searchPanes: {
                layout: "columns-4",
                columns: [ 0,1],
                cascadePanes: true,
                dataLength: 45,
              dtOpts:{
                order:[[0,'desc'],[1,'asc']]
              }

Hi @montoyam ,

Do you mean that you want the first searchPane to sort in descending order and the second to sort ascending?

i.e the first pane would read top to bottom "Folder Monitor" and then "AutoSubmit" below it. The second pane would read top to bottom "AXE", "DLL", "EXE"?

If so you want to set different columns.searchPanes.dtOpts for different columns - like this example.

Thanks,
Sandy
