  To add some more information to this, I have discovered that the structure of the table has been changed dynamically, so that the <tbody> element now sits below the <tfoot> (which I believe is causing the rowReorder to fail), but the table structure is correct at the point of sending the webpage code back to the browser, so it seems something is manipulating the table structure after the page is loaded into the browser. So, the real problem is probably nothing to do with rowReorder.

  Hi Chris,

  rowReordering was working fine until recently

  What changed? Do you upgrade from one version to the latest, or was there a document change, or something else?

  Unfortunately the link doesn't appear to be loading for me at the moment, stalling while getting something from cdn.getaddress.io - I'll try again later.

  Hi Allan,

  Yes, it is all happening today, unknown to me that CDN has expired, but the script file for this is local now, so should work ok now.

  I have done quite a few changes over the last few months, and they all seem to be working well, but it is highly likely this could be a consequence of one of these changes.

  The one I change I made that feels the most likely cause is we wanted a way to allow users to change Boolean\logical fields quickly, but not using the inline editing or an edit form, so we implemented a footer toggle button which sits below its respective column, which when clicked updates the selected rows related field. This is working, but I have a feeling it inserts a second footer to control this, and hides the default datatable footer, so this maybe the cause.

  But, I did disable this code as one of my tests, and the issue remained, so I'm not quite sure if it is the cause, or maybe I missed something when disabled the code, I'll double check now.

  I'll keep debugging here, but if you do get a chance to look at it then that would be really appreciated.

  Thanks, Chris

  DataTables 1.10.18 - gosh, that's an old version! Something is causing the table to re-initialise when dropped.

  I've just been digging around, but I don't immediately see what would be causing that. Do you have anything rewriting the table's HTML? If it used to work, but no longer is, a diff with the old version might yield something interesting.

  Looks like you have duplicated code in the script.

  I see two script tags with what looks like duplicated code including this:

      $.fn.dataTable.ext.errMode = 'none';
  
          qsjobTable = $("#dtqsjob").DataTable({
  

  The first script tag starts on line 163 and the other on 749. Try removing the contents of one of them to see if it helps.
