  Did you install the ColReorder JS and CSS?

  Also the init option is colReorder: true not columnReoder.

  Thanks for the reply Kevin,

  I now have references to the ColReorder JS and CSS, but it's still not working.

  I got the example of columnReorder from here:

  https://datatables.net/reference/event/column-reorder

  Perhaps that's an old example?

  I'm not sure about that particular example but the Column Reorder docs can be found under Extension, here:
  https://datatables.net/extensions/colreorder/

  These docs use colReorder to initialize column reorder.

  Very good point - that's a typo in the documentation i"m sorry to say. Fixed here and I'll push it out to the site shortly.

  Thanks Allan,

  I made the example I'm playing with available here:

  http://www.shahspace.com/jquerydatatable/

  I have this for making the columns reorderable:

  $("#JQuery_DataTable").DataTable({ paging: false,
  scrollX: true, scrollY: 300,
  colReorder: true });

  Can anybody see why the columns can't be reordered?

  Looks like you still need to use the colReorder plugin code:

  Oh yes, I see that I missed that.

  I added them and it now works.

  Thanks again everyone.
