Prevent default order event on datatable

Question

I have a server-side (ajax) processed datatable. I have enabled sorting on it but I want to implement my own custom sorting on it. I can capture the 'order.dt' event but I can't stop the event from making an ajax request (which reloads the data in the table). Here's the code:

$('#resultTable')
        .on('order.dt', function (e) {

            e.preventDefault();
            e.stopPropagation();


            //Custom sorting logic (without making ajax request)
            return false;    
        })
        .dataTable(
            //Code to make ajax request
        );

Answer 1

I disabled the sorting on datatables using ordering: false setting which creating the table.

I used a custom jQuery-based library TableSorter which gives the functionality of sorting the rows without firing an ajax request to update the page.

Hope it helps.
