columnControl with search and colReorder

rweigel

See https://jsbin.com/vezufohuxi/edit?html,output

In the following configuration colReorder does not work with columnControl

          colReorder: {order: [0,2,1]},
          columnControl: [
                {target: 0, content: ['order']},
                {target: 1, content: ['search']}]

Throws an error

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'startsWith')

No error if order = [0, 1, 2] or {target: 1, content: ['search']} is removed.

I can move columns after table creation by not setting colReorder in config and using

table.colReorder.order([0,2,1])

Many thanks for the example! You've actually uncovered a bug in DataTables there! The column().type() method is meant to resolve a column's data type if it is unknown (it is invalidated by the column reordering), and it does do that, but wasn't returning the resolved value!

I've committed a fix to address that.

Your example works when updated to use the nightly build of DataTables. The change will be included in the next patch release.
