Live DOM Ordering
This example shows how you can use information available in the DOM to order columns. Typically DataTables will read information to be ordered during it's initialisation phase, and this will not be updated based on user interaction, so ordering on columns which have, for example, form elements in them, may not reflect the current value of the input. To overcome this problem, you must update the data that DataTables will order on, just prior to the order. This method is much more efficient than actually ordering using the DOM, since only one DOM query is needed for each cell to be ordered.Name | Age | Position | Office |
