  I'm afraid I don't understand your question - do you want to add the class abc to the cells in the first column? If so, use columns.className.

  Hi,

        without knowing the id or class name may unable to detach and prepend or append an element ?
  

  As per your answer and from https://datatables.net/reference/option/columns.className

  update the query at http://live.datatables.net/naqomuxe/2/edit

  Now the entire column 1 moved to division with class .abc

  My requirement is only move the column 1 header with sort function to div with class abc.

  Hope you may clear now ?

  No, still a bit muddled Are you saying you want to move the header for column 1 into another element? That would be odd for the table to have one column without a header!

  You can trigger sorting on a column using the column().order() method, but you can't remove the header from a column. As Colin says, that would be a bit odd and I don't know what the use case for that would be?
