I was worried that the columnDefs after columns would cause an issue, but as you can see here, that's fine. Everything looks like it should work, though this thread may be an issue if you have backslashes in your returned data.

Your columns array is inside the ajax object, which is going to be at least part of the issue.

Also you'll need to use ajax.dataSrc set to an empty string to tell DataTables to expect a plain array of data, rather than being wrapped in an object.
