Rearrange order of pagination components without an entire plugin

drjekyll

Greetings,
I'm new around here and I hope I have spent a enough time reading the forums that I haven't missed something obvious. I just wanted to get a hint here before I go way off into left field.

The current four button alternate pagination controls do everything that I need to do. However I'm working with a standard that dictates the arrangement of the elements slightly different. The default is:

[first] [previous] [next] [last]

I need to get the layout to be:

[previous] [next] [first] | [last]

The operation of the controls is exactly the same, I just need to change the order in which they appear.
Is there any easier way to do this than to replicate the current pagination as a plugin and try to change the layout therein?

Thanks,
mark

Hi Mark,

I'd suggest just copying the current pagination code from DataTables, altering its insert of elements to what you require, rename it and call it a plug-in :-). Alternatively just change the code in DataTables core - moving a single like should do it.

There isn't a way to get that fine grained control over the elements in the default paging controls - adding that would add significant code to the core, and that's what the plug-ins are for :-)
