Server Side Default Sorting

mauro218

I'm using DataTables 1.10 with settings:

                processing: true,
                serverSide: true,

Based on the page below I should only need to add order: [[ 3, "desc" ]], and that should do it but it is not.
https://datatables.net/examples/basic_init/table_sorting.html

The posted params to the server are still:

order[0][column]    0
order[0][dir]   asc

How can I override these setting so the sorting params look like:

order[0][column]    3
order[0][dir]   desc

Thank you in advance!

The order option should define the default ordering. if it is not, can you link to the page showing the problem so I can debug it please.

I have exactly the same problem. Using the latest version. None of the documented settings allow me to sort my table as I want at the table initialization. After the table renders, I can sort any column, anyway I like.

Sadly, I don't have an open api for you to debug :(

Can you use the debugger so I can see how the table is created, or please use JSFiddle or any of the other services available to create a test case so I can debug and help resolve the problem.
