Hi,

Help me,
Can you help me ?

I would like to know if we can sort a column in tablepress because right now I have a column address, column, telephone number and other columns, if I look in the box between two figures (eg : 12) he released me in sorting the telephone number and address and I want only the address.
Can anyone help me?

Hi,

thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble as well as for the late reply. I’ve been on holidays and therefore couldn’t reply earlier.

Yes, TablePress can sort columns, but will always take the full cell content into account. Sorting only by parts of a cell is not possible, unfortunately.

Hi,
thank you very much for your response, I would actually sort on a single column, not on all columns, how can we do?

Hi,

ah, I see! Sorry for the misunderstanding!

Removing the sort function from a column is of course possible. For that, please try adding something like this to the “Custom Commands” textfield on the table’s “Edit” screen:

"columnDefs": [ { "orderable": false, "targets": [ 1 ] } ]

This would turn off sorting for the second column, as counting the columns starts with 0 for this code.

Hi,
Thank you to actually answer I do not understand this: “Custom Commands ” textfield on the table ‘s “Edit” screen :
Or do I put the code in the press table options or elsewhere ?
Regards.

Hi Didier,

no, it’s not in the Options, it’s on the “Edit” screen of the table, where you also choose if the table is sortable, etc.
It’s the last text field on this screenshot: https://ps.w.org/tablepress/assets/screenshot-2.png?rev=1275767

Hi tobias

sorry I’m a little stuffy :=)
I have a message that the code is not correct, then I can not find the edit function.
Regards.

Hi,

do you see the “Custom Commands” textfield in the screenshot above? It’s below the “Horizontal Scrolling” checkbox.
Then please find that on your site. Don’t confuse it with the “Extra CSS classes”! That’s different!

Hi,

it semblerai that the code does not work , I put 1 to block the second column and it continued to sort all columns.
Thank you again for your help.

Hi,

I’ll try to be clearer.
It seems that the code does not work if I put 42 in search , he released the results of the first column and the second column, I want only the first column. Is it possible ?
Thanks again.

Hi,

ah, you want to restrict searching and sorting to the first column? Then please try this “Custom Command”:

"columnDefs": [ { "searchable": false, "orderable": false, "targets": [ 1 ] } ]
