Description of problem:
I am looking for a way to initialise SeacrhPanes ordered by the number of totals/results per option (not sure if I am using the right words here). Anyhow, given the example at https://datatables.net/extensions/searchpanes/examples/initialisation/simple.html, how would I achieve to order the "Position" pane descending, from "Software Engineer" with 6 results all the way down to "Technical Author" with 1 result. By default, the Pane seems to be sorted alphabetically by the name?

Any by "how would I achieve to order the "Position" pane descending", I mean programmatically, not by me pressing the button control in the pane ;-)

Solved by using this code

document.querySelectorAll('.dtsp-countButton').forEach((cb) => {
   cb.click();
 });

inside the https://datatables.net/reference/option/initComplete method

Clever . The other option would be to use the searchPanes.dtOpts parameter and set the order parameter to [[1, 'desc']].
