i want to disable all columns sorting whe user clicks on th arrows
I have try using this

I don't believe there is an API for this. The columns.orderable is the way to turn off the users ability to order the table. Why do you want to do this via an API?

As always, Kevin is spot on. There is no built in API to dynamically disable that ability. You can do it at start up time using the option mentioned, or you could just use jQuery to unbind the click event. It is possible to bind a new listener with the order.listener() listener method.
