how to set the default sort by column

SkyScream

I have a result of pure JSON that datatables is pulling. The first record on the results is not showing up as the first result in the table. here is my datatables code.

 $('#resulttable').dataTable( {
        destroy: true,
        "ajax": {
    "url": "../includes/views/DetailsTableJSON.php",
    "type":"post",
    "data": {
    "cid" : <?php echo $GBAA->company_id; ?>,
    "ctype" : $("#ctype").val(),
    "dateF" : $("#datepickerF").val(),
    "dateS" : $("#datepickerS").val(),
    "sortb" : x,
    "sel" : y,
    "add" : z
}}

} ); 

Surely Datatables is rearranging the records. How do I set the arrangement to reflect exactly as the JSON array reflects when it loads?

Good to hear you found it. For anyone else interested order is the option to set the default ordering.
