External Sort Links - Change Sort Direction
External Sort Links - Change Sort Direction
I've got a table with 4 hidden columns that i wish to be sortable via external links.
this piece of code adds a listener to one of the links to sort on column 2:
oTable.fnSortListener(document.getElementById('a_vFav'), 2)
The problem i'm having is that it only sorts ascending. What do i need to add to make these links function the same way as a header link, such that the sort direction changes with each click?
I tried using the fnSort() method on click of this link, but i get an error message saying "'aoColumns[...].sSortDataType' is null or not an object", and doesn't do the sort at all. At least the fnSortListener sorts once, so i'm going with that.
Any ideas?
thanks!
