  Something like this should do the trick:
  
  [code]
  $('#example').dataTable({
  "aaSorting": [[$('#example thead tr th').index($('th.defaultsort')[0]), 'asc']]
  });
  [/code]

  "aoColumnDefs": [
  {
  "aaSorting": [[$('#DTsortable thead tr th').index($('th.sortdefault')[0]), 'asc']],
  "aTargets": [ 'sortdefault' ]
  }
  ]
  [/code]

  There is no aaSorting option for a column definition ( http://datatables.net/usage/columns ) - so no that wouldn't work. aaSorting is a general initialisation option, not a column specific one (since it can span multiple columns).
