orderAsc
Set the table to order by this column, ascending.
Please note - this property requires the ColumnControl extension for DataTables.
Description
This content type will show a button which simply sets the table to order by the data in this column, ascending, when triggered.
Display
The button added by this control will display as a simple icon button at the top level, or as a button with icon and text in a dropdown. It is generally expected that it will be used in a dropdown to avoid cluttering the UI.
Options
This button can have the following options set in its configuration object to customise its actions and display, in addition to those options which are available for all buttons (e.g. buttons.buttons.text
):
icon
- Type:
string
- Default:
orderAsc
Button icon. Can take the name of any icon available in DataTable.ColumnControl.icons
(which is a writeable object containing SVG icons).
text
- Type:
string
- Default:
Sort Ascending
Trigger button text (shown when in a dropdown). Can also be set by the orderAsc
key of language.columnControl
, which will take priority if set.
Example
Show ordering icon and buttons to trigger ascending and descending ordering directly in a dropdown.:
new DataTable('#example', {
columnControl: [
'order',
[
'orderAsc',
'orderDesc'
]
],
ordering: {
indicators: false,
handler: false
}
});
