How do I prevent column search from clicking sort?

I modified the example column search slightly. Instead of replacing the footer, mine appends to the header.

You stop the click event bubbling up the DOM:

                input.addEventListener('click', function (e) {
                   e.stopPropagation();
                });

See the MDN on stopPropagation if you haven't come across this before.
