How can I make a column non-sortable?

adrian

Hi,

I have a table with 4 columns. The first 3 should be sortable, the fourth only contains action links and should therefore not have a sort icon in the header.

I've managed to get this behavior by only specifying three columns in the aoColumns array. But then I get the following warning:

DataTables warning (table id = 'CurrentTasks'): Unexpected number of TD elements. Expected 208 and got 416. DataTables does not support rowspan / colspan in the table body, and there must be one cell for each row/column combination.

Everything else seems to work fine though.

By Specifying null as the fourth aoColumns element I can get around the warning, but then the column is sortable again.

How can I get rid of the warning and still keep the fourth column as non-sortable?

Thanks,

Adrian

Take a look at this page
http://www.datatables.net/usage/columns
and scroll down to bSortable. in your aoColumns, you need to add { "bSortable": false } for the column(s) you dont want to be sortable.

Hope that helps.
