noobie help (server side default sorting)

thegene

I'm trying to alter the default sorting settings for my table. I had it working with aaSorting, but then I switched to server side processing which didn't work w/ the aaSorting still set... so I took that out. How do I make it so the default sorting is desc instead of asc for the first column when using server side processing?

Thanks

assorting should work just fine with server-side processing. Does sorting work after initialisation with server-side processing? Can you run your table through the debugger ( http://debug.datatables.net ) so I can see its configuration please?

Ok. I ran it twice. The first code is azolag. It was run w/ configuration of the following.

[code]
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#dietTable').dataTable( {
"bProcessing": true,
"bServerSide": true,
"sAjaxSource": "serverProcessing.php"
"aaSorting": [[ 0, "desc" ]]
} );
} );
[/code]

iribuf is code I ran after deleting the line "aaSorting": [[ 0, "desc"]]. Otherwise they are the same.

You've got a JS syntax error on line 5 there - missing a comma. The debugger also shows that there are no tables initialised in the "azolag" debug - so I suspect your syntax error is also present on your page.
