How to achieve Server side fetching and Client side sorting

kshtjsnghl

Hi,

I am using this incredible plugin for processing our tables.
We have this use case where we need to fetch the data (paginated)through an ajax call using bServerSide and sAjaxSource but would like to just sort the data on that page rather than fetching the sorted data from the server, as in our case this read would be very expensive.

Is it possible to do it? If yes, please suggest how to proceed.
Thanks in advance!!

Can anyone please help me out here.

Server-side processing means that all the processing is done on the server-side. You need the entire data set to be able to sort it, and since the client-side doesn't have the full data set, only the visible sub-set, then I'm afraid that this cannot be done.
