Ok, so when I view source, it looks like the data isn't being passed to the browser, which would explain why the sort won't work. Guess I need to dig around the app a bit more.

By default the sort should be on the bottom row actually. bSortCellsTop makes it at the top. Allan

Yup, I dropped the ball on that one. For some reason I got the impression that I needed a separate sort plugin for DataTables. I got rid of Tablesorter and all is well. Sorry about that!

[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]
