  See if columns.orderSequence does what you want.

  Thanks again Kevin,

  I added the order sequence as suggested into the columnDefs, but I am not getting the correct sort order.

  I assume it is because My required order when the user first views the Table is set in "order" and then "order sequence" is after this?

  I tried moving the ColumnDefs above the "order" line but was getting a syntax error.

  <script>
                  $(document).ready( function () {
                  $('#myTable').dataTable( {                   
                          "order":[[1,"desc"],[2,"desc"],[3,"desc"],[4,"desc"],[5,"desc"]],   //Specifies Column to use for sorting 0 = 1st Column and direction = descending - make sure you add a comma at the end
                          "dom": '<lif<t>p>',                                                 //Adds the Total Players to the middle
                          lengthMenu: [[200,100,25,50,-1],[200,100,25,50,"All"]],             //First row of Numbers is what is shown initiallly, Second row of Numbers is what is in the Drop Down Menu selector
                          fixedHeader: {headerOffset: 80},                                    //Makes the Header fixed                           
                          columnDefs: [                                                       //This makes the column align to the following
                              { targets: [1,2,3,7,8], className: 'dt-body-center'},
                              { targets: [4,5,6,9], className: 'dt-body-right'},
                              { targets: [1], render: DataTable.render.number( ',', '.' )},           //Add a thousand seperator
                              { targets: [7], render: DataTable.render.number( ',', '.', 0, '$' )},   //Add a thousand seperator and $ sign
                              { "orderSequence": [ "asc" ], "targets": [ 0 ] },                       //set the starting Order
                              { "orderSequence": [ "asc" ], "targets": [ 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13 ] }
                          ]
                          
                      }); 
                  } );
              </script>
