that will reorder the columns to their original state,

replacement for the other columns. Thanks for the suggestions!

This is what I have in file "retrieved.html" attached . $(document).ready(function() { $('#example').DataTable( { ajax: { url: './sampleresult.txt', dataSrc: 'data', columns: [ { data: 0 }, { data: 1 }, { data: 5 }, { data: 4 }, { data: 2 }, { data: 3 } ] }, } ); } );

The hiding of the columns only seem to happen

value, key) { return value; }), columns: [ { data: "itemID"}, { data: "itemLocation"

ajax": "data.php", "rowId": "nr", "columns": [ { "className": "details-control", "orderable": false,

This example shows one way to control which columns are inline editable: https://editor.datatables.net/examples/inline-editing/columns.html If you prefer the jQuery selectors you can do something like this: $('#myTable').on( 'click', 'tbody td:not(:first-child, :nth-child(2))', function (e) { Kevin

type '{ "dom": string; 'data': {}[]; 'columns': { 'title': string; 'data': string;

No, it turned out that I had to use "columnDefs" instead of "columns". Probably that code was for an older version of DT.

Try adding the class "wrap" to the table, see this example here. This will wrap all columns, but it may be good enough since the rest of your data appears to be short.
