How can I find the column number using column name

polachan

Is it possible to find the column position number using the column name. For example column 'Position' some times it would be column 0 some time it would be column 2. So How can I find the column number using the column name

$('#example').dataTable( {
"columnDefs": [ {
"targets": [ 0, 2 ],
"orderable": false
} ]
} );

Hi @polachan ,

Yep, you can use columns.name, see here.

Cheers,
