colReorder.move()

Since: ColReorder 1.4.0

Programmatically move columns.
Please note - this property requires the ColReorder extension for DataTables.

Description

This method provides the ability to programmatically change the order of one column at a time (while colReorder.order() will set the order of all columns together).

Type

function colReorder.move( from, to [, drop [, invalidate ] ] )

Description:

Programmatically reorder columns

Parameters:

	Name	Type	Optional
1	`from`	`integer`	No
	Column index to move.
2	`to`	`integer`	No
	New index to move the column to.
3	`drop`	`boolean`	Yes - default:true
	Indicate that this is the final move. Set this to `false` if you are performing multiple moves.
4	`invalidate`	`boolean`	Yes - default:true
	Invalidate the row data. As with `drop` it can be useful to set this to `false` if performing multiple moves. Otherwise allow it to default which will ensure that the table's data is fully insync with the column order.

Returns:

DataTables.Api

Unmodified API instance.

Example

Move the first column in the table to the second position:

var table = new DataTable('#myTable', {
	colReorder: true
});

table.colReorder.move(0, 1);
