Default sort column by class name?

Felix11H

Hi,

from the discussion here, setting the default sort column by class name was not possible prior to 1.10. Am I correct to assume that this has not changed with the release of 1.10 (DT live)? Has some other functionality coming with 1.10 made this easier in any way?

Many thanks,
Felix

There isn't a built in way of doing it, but its fairly trivial to do with a call to $().index():

  var table = $('#example').DataTable( {
    order: [ [ $('th.defaultSort').index(),  'asc' ] ]
  } );
