How to order by a string?

I have the column: STATE

STATE could assume this values : ACTIVE, AFK, BUSY, OFF.

I want to order([]) for STATE = 'ACTIVE'

Is it possible?

    Datatables will order by the values in the column. Are you asking how to set the order option? You would use something like order: [[2, 'asc']] where 2 is the STATE column number. The column numbers start at 0 so 2 would be the thrid column.

    If you want specific ordering on that type, you can either create an ordering plug-in, examples here and here, or use columns.render
