Typically this means you are loading conflicting CSS. In this case you could be using a styling framework and loading that CSS, dataTables.bootstrap5.min.css for example plus the default Datatables CSS jquery.dataTables.min.css. Only load the CSS for the framework. Take a look at the appropriate styling exmaple and click the CSS tab. Also see the Styling docs. The easiest way to get the proper library files is to use the Download Builder. If you still need help please post a link to your page or a test case replicating the issue so we can help debug. https://datatables.net/manual/tech-notes/10#How-to-provide-a-test-case Kevin

Could you not do: domEditor.add( { label: "answer", name: "answer", type: "textarea" }, 'answer' ); answer, although hidden, still has a position in the form. Allan

One option might be to use the order to remove the sorting classes applied by Datatables, like this: http://live.datatables.net/hepiraka/1/edit It removes the applied classes each time the table is sorted. Also it initially removes the classes in initComplete. Kevin

It should be picked up automatically - see the final column in this example. If it isn't for you, please link to a test case showing the issue, per the forum rules. Allan

I got the answer without converting the date into timestamps. I used a CDN for my HTML code: then I added a single line of code for my date column using columnDefs columnDefs: [{ targets: [5], type:"date-eu", }] That's it! :)

Thank you Colin, worked nicely!

@colin Thank you so much. I just moved select box to outside of the table and enabled search works well.

Did you save your changes to a fork?

I built a test case to show that delete data.select; works. You are right it doesn't work. The test case shows the object is deleted but when the state is loaded the select object is there. Not sure if @allan considers this a bug but it seems the StateSave library saves the select state after stateSaveParams. http://live.datatables.net/qoluroce/1/edit You can remove the StateSave information using stateLoadParams. The example shows this. Kevin
