[code] $('#element').on( 'dblclick', function () { table.fnSort( [[ 0, 'asc' ]] ); } ); [/code] You could add additional logic to have it sort desc on another double click if you want. Allan

Solved it by doing initial sort expressively on the column that the filter didn't work on until it was filtered - changed line 120 in above example to: [code] oTable.fnSort( [ [6,'asc'] ] );[/code]

This also happens when I sort on different columns

If you use aDataSort you can tell a column that it should do a multi-column sort rather than just by itself. Allan

ah, just realised you need to include both the type detection plugin: http://datatables.net/plug-ins/type-detection and the sort plugin: http://datatables.net/plug-ins/sorting

My html looks like this < table id="myTable"> col1 col2 I dont want this column to be sortable data 1 data 1 script $('#myTable').dataTable(); How do I exclude the sort funcionality from specific columns ?

when doing the initial sort. I've tried not using

that you want to sort on: http://datatables.net/development/sorting#type_based . There are a number of sorting plug-ins already valuable here

This seems to do the trick: [code] $('table th:first').removeClass().addClass('sorting_asc'); [/code] removeClass() with no params removes all the previous classes, then we add the ascending sort class (naturally run this after .dataTable() is finished)

also firing when i sort OR fnUpdate a cell
