case restricts the column sorting that can be applied

With DataTables you can alter the ordering characteristics of the table at initialisation time. Using the order initialisation parameter, you can set the table to display the data in exactly the order that you want. The order parameter is an array of arrays where the first value of the inner array is the column to order on, and the second is 'asc' (ascending ordering) or 'desc' (descending ordering) as required. order is a 2D array to allow multi-column ordering to be defined. The table below is ordered (descending) by the Age column.

Although DataTables will order a number of data types using the built in methods, when dealing with more complex formatted data, it can be desirable to define the ordering order yourself. Using plug-in ordering functions, you can have DataTables order data in any manner you wish. This is done by using the columns.type parameter, in combination with a ordering plug-in. The ordering plug-in can be of any level of complexity (natural ordering for example can be fairly complex while also very powerful), and is defined by attaching to the DataTable.ext.type.order object. For more information about ordering plug-ins, creating them and their requirements, please refer to the plug-in development documentation. This example shows ordering with using an enumerated type. A wide variety of ready made ordering plug-ins can be found on the DataTables plug-ins page.
