jquery datatable disable sort in specific row

How to disable sorting in specific row/column in jquery datatable using a class?

here's my sample table;

<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th class="sorting_disabled">Title1</th>
<th class="">Title2</th>
<th class="sorting_disabled">Title3</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr><td>Tag 1</td><td>Date 1</td><td>Date 2</td></tr>
<tr><td>Tag 2</td><td>Date 2</td><td>Date 2</td></tr>
<tr><td>Tag 3</td><td>Date 3</td><td>Date 3</td></tr>
<tr><td>Tag 4</td><td>Date 4</td><td>Date 4</td></tr>
<tr><td>Tag 5</td><td>Date 5</td><td>Date 5</td></tr>
....
</tbody>
</table>


script;

$('.sortable thead tr th.sorting_disabled').livequery(function()
$(this).removeClass('sorting');
$(this).unbind('click');
);


above code works but if I click to the next column who has a sorting its shows again an arrow. though its not clickable ;(

How can I disable the sorting by using a class and not using/redraw a table.

bSortable

aoColumns

You can disable the sorting using a class in definition.
Just add this code to the datatable initialization:

// Disable sorting on the sorting_disabled class
"aoColumnDefs" : [
"bSortable" : false,
"aTargets" : [ "sorting_disabled" ]
]


$('#example').dataTable(
"aoColumnDefs": [
'bSortable': false, 'aTargets': [ 1 ]
]);


That should do it..;)

try the following answer .it works for me.

<table class="tablesorter" id="tmp">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Area</th>
<th>Total Visitors</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Javascript</td>
<td>15</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>PHP</td>
<td>3</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>HTML5</td>
<td>32</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>CSS</td>
<td>14</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>XML</td>
<td>54</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<tfoot>
<tr class="no-sort">
<td><strong>Total</strong></td>
<td><strong>118</strong></td>
</tr>
</tfoot>

<th class="sorting_disabled">&nbsp;</th>

$(document).ready(function ()
$('#yourDataTableDivID').dataTable(
"aoColumnDefs": [

"bSortable": false,
"aTargets": ["sorting_disabled"]

]
);
);


I hope below code works in your case.

$("#dataTable").dataTable(
"aoColumns": ["bSortable": false, null,"bSortable": false]
);


You need to disable sorting via "bSortable" for that specific column.

$(document).ready(function()
$('#example').dataTable(
"aoColumns": [
"bSortable": false ,
null,
"bSortable": false
]
);
);


I came with almost the same solution like in the question, but I used the "fnHeaderCallback". As far as I understood, it gets called after each header redisplay, so no more worries about 'sorting' class that appears again after clicking on column next to target column.

$('.datatable').dataTable(
"fnHeaderCallback": function()
return $('th.sorting.sorting_disabled').removeClass("sorting").unbind("click");

);


Additional documentation about callbacks: http://datatables.net/usage/callbacks

The only solution:
First add class="sorting_disabled" to any<th> that you want to disable sorting, then add this code to the datatable initialization:

class="sorting_disabled"

<th>

// Disable sorting on the sorting_disabled class
"aoColumnDefs" : [
"bSortable" : false,
"aTargets" : [ "sorting_disabled" ]
],
"order": [
[1, 'asc']
],


this code worked for me in react.

in row created i added fixed-row class to the row i wanted to stay fixed and not sortable and i drawcallback i hid the row then i appended it to the table itself.

Hope this works for you:

$(this.refs.main).DataTable(
dom: '<"data-table-wrapper"t>',
data: data,
language:
"emptyTable": "Loading ...",

,
columns,
ordering: true,
order: [0,'asc'],
destory:true,
bFilter: true,
fixedHeader:
header: true
,
iDisplayLength: 100,
scrollY: '79vh',
ScrollX: '100%',
scrollCollapse: true,
"drawCallback": function( settings )
var dataTableId = $("#To_Scroll_List").find(".dataTables_scrollBody table").attr("id");
$("..fixed-row").css('display','none');
$("#"+dataTableId+"_wrapper table").find('tbody tr:last').after($('.fixed-row'));
$(".fixed-row").show();
,
createdRow: function (row, data, index)
if(data.UnitsPerLine == 999)
$(row).addClass('fixed-row');

,
initComplete: function (settings, json)

$("#To_Scroll_List").find(".dataTables_scrollBodytable").attr("id");
$("#"+dataTableId+" thead tr").remove();



);

DatatableSearch(dataTableId+"_wrapper table", "AverageUnitsPerLineReport");

});
}
