Disable column sort?

    Is there an easy way to disable the sort button for an individual column? One of my columns contains shortcodes and I see no reason to either sort OR search that particular column, but I’ll be happy with a “You can disable the sort button by….” response. Very happy as a matter of fact.

    Very nice plugin, btw.

    Hi,

    thanks for your question. Yes, this is possible with a special command for the DataTables JavaScript library.
    Just add this to the “Custom Commands” textfield on the “Edit” screen of your table:

    "aoColumnDefs": [ { "bSortable": false, "aTargets": [ 0 ] }, { "bSearchable": false, "aTargets": [ 0 ] } ]

    The 0 in that code (in two places) indicates that sorting and searching should be deactivated for the first column (counting starts with 0). So, just change the two 0’s to the number of the column that you want to influence minus 1.

    Regards,
    Tobias
