Reorder event fired immediately after initialize

You will have to reorder one of the columns to see the event fire on reload.

Description of problem: I am trying to hook into the column reorder event, which I have done successfully, only when the page loads and the DataTable initialized, a 'columns-reordered' event is immediately fired.

I'm trying to listen to the column reorder as a sign of user input, so this obviously causes some issues because the user is not changing the order, but the event is fired.

How come this event is fired every on load? And is there a way to disable this?

This is due to the use of stateSave. The Datatables initializes and loads the saved state. Once initialized, ie, initComplete executes, the loaded state is applied. Use ready() to create the columns-reordered event. Updated test case:
