Search

The easiest way would be to use column().search() with a regex search. Using a global search with the ^ won't work as it is not applied to each column what searching. See this example: http://live.datatables.net/fuqaqeci/2/edit Kevin

You can use columns.width. Kevin

Also since you didn't post your JS code make sure you are using column().search(). Kevin

to do this in columns.render. We're happy to take

Hi @ThomasFerraz , You can change the format with columns.render - and use Moment.js, as it's excellent for all time/date based operations. Cheers, Colin

are you using option columns.render on that first column

The columns.render option is used to change the displayed values. There is an example here: https://datatables.net/examples/advanced_init/column_render.html Kevin

Hi @mornaistar , The best bet here is orthogonal data. If you use columns.render instead of createdCell, then that will deal with the search and sorting. Cheers, Colin

of two buttons with columns.render: http://live.datatables.net/qemodapi/1/edit The same example

You could create a VIEW and read from that which would work just fine. Other option is to read both column3 and column4 and then use a renderer (columns.render) on the client-side to conditionally render which one you want. Allan
