Adding rows with ColReorder

peterkronenberg

When adding a row using fnAddData or fnAddDataAndDisplay, does the data have to be in the order that is currently displayed (i.e., if column order has been changed using ColReorder), or can the data be in the original order?

It needs to be in the current order. DataTables will actually reorganise it's internal data structure when reordering the column (or rather, the ColReorder plug-in does it on its behalf). There is an internal function called _fnReOrderIndex which may be of some use (even just to rip out the code) which uses the sName parameter from the columns to do reordering with server-side processing. This might be a suitable plug-in in future...

Will fnSettings().aoColumns.nTh be in the current order?

Yes - all DataTables internal data stores will be in the current order, including aoColumns and aoData properties.
