Column sorting with data.sort attribute

viandante

Hi to all,

when i change a value of a cell that in the DT creations is in the form:

data: { _:data.display, sort: data.timestamp}

How can i change the sort attribute when i update the _ attribute?

Thanks

How are you updating the cell? I would suggest using:

table.cell( ... ).data( {
  display: '...',
  "@data-sort": '...'
} );

Or if you have updated the HTML use cell().invalidate().

I change the value with the x-editable plugin.

The match of the elements to x-editable is in the drawCallback, but can i retrieve the table cell from here?

Thanks

I've not used x-editable myself - I'm not sure how it would be done. I suspect the best way would be to write to the HTML and then invalidate the cell.

The only solution that i have found is the redraw of the table at every edit...

Thanks!
