You can create a "DT defaults" script. See here:

thank you, but i want that ordering and select to become function cause some table are not the same as other. For example : some need ordering other no some need select checkbox other no and i want to create those select ordering etc.. as function to not write them everytime just call them like this code.
var table = $('#example').DataTable();
table.ordering();
table.select();

Most of the options need to be initialized when initializing Datatables. Some can be set or changed after initialization. Specifically is it looks like you can use select() this way. But there is not a ordering() API. The list of Datatables APIs is here. Each extension has their own list of APIs such as Select APIs are here.

so basically i can't change those attribute to customized function but i can use the api function only.
