排序在JQuery数据表中不起作用

Question

I have a datatable being drawn on a page with an AJAX call. I need to order the contents such that by default the latest entry is at the top. But even though the parameters have been changed there seems to be no change in the ordering at all and the records are listed at random.

var InitiateViewOption = null;
var deviceId = null;
var deviceType = null;
var fromTime = null;
var toTime = null;
var keys = null;

function drawTable(from, to) {
    var device = $("#device-details");
    deviceId = device.data("deviceid");
    deviceType = device.data("devicetype");
    keys = device.data("attributes").split(",");
    fromTime = from * 1000;
    toTime = to * 1000;
    if ( $.fn.dataTable.isDataTable( '#stats-table' ) ) {
        var table = $('#stats-table').DataTable();
        table.clear().draw();
        table.ajax.reload();
    }
    else {
        $("#stats-table").datatables_extended({
            serverSide: true,
            processing: true,
            searching: false,
            ordering: true,
            pageLength: 100,
            order: [[ 0, 'desc' ]],
            ajax: {
                url: "/devicemgt/api/stats/paginate",
                data: buildAjaxData
            }
        });
    }
}

function buildAjaxData (){
    var settings = $("#stats-table").dataTable().fnSettings();

    var obj = {
        //default params
        "draw" : settings.iDraw,
        "start" : settings._iDisplayStart,
        "length" : settings._iDisplayLength,
        "columns" : "",
        "order": "",
        "deviceType" : deviceType,
        "deviceId" : deviceId,
        "from": fromTime,
        "to"  : toTime,
        "attributes" : JSON.stringify(keys)
    };

    return obj;
}

Although making ordering : true does enable the icon near the table headers and the order: [[ 0, 'desc' ]] sets the icon according to the descending order there is no change in the actual order of the records with each new record being seemingly appended at random somewhere in the table.

Tried the aaSorting : [] option according to the answer on this link as well but with no change

Answer 1

UPDATE: Found out the reason behind the ordering not taking place. The issue was in the .datatables_extended({ function. Once I changed that to .DataTable({ then made serverSide: false and then gave the columns for the ordering to take place it started working.
