Search

The draw() docs show options to control the paging. Likely you will want to pass false to stay on the same page but update the sorting and searching. Kevin

scrollY': '50vh', 'scrollX': true, 'sorting': false, 'fixedColumns': { leftColumns: 1

The example on the original absolute sorting blog post is working as expected. That is using DataTables 2. I'd really need a link to a test case showing the issue to be able to help. Allan

Not really a bug as such (maybe?). More that the natural sorting plug-in doesn't provide a search formatter. Thankfully, it is easy to add: DataTable.type('natural', { search: function (d) { return DataTable.util.diacritics(d); } }); https://live.datatables.net/woyozaci/6/edit Allan

of table layout. For sorting and searching purposes it

The data in datatable sorts and works with searchpanes.

A related problem is that dt-type-date alignment also right-aligns the th cell causing it to overlap with the sorting arrows (at least on Bootstrap 5).

Sorry, @carrarachristophe , yep, I said what to do, then promptly mistyped it, omitting the val(). Glad all sorted, Colin

Here is another example with search inputs in the header. Note the use of orderCells Top to move the sorting events to the top header row. https://live.datatables.net/giharaka/1/edit Kevin

It looks like I have bigger issue i didn't realize, the table although the ajax is bringing the data back isn't loading after sorting, reloaded or anything.
