The data for my table is pre-sorted so I don't want the overhead of dataTables doing the first sort. I have set aaSorting to [] so that dataTables does not sort the data.
My problem is that I would like the header style to show which column the data is sorted by and when that column is sorted for it to toggle the sort order.
I tried a cheat of the following which displays the way I want but I have to click twice to change the search to descending.
dataTableOptions.fnInitComplete = function (oSettings, json) {
$table.find('th:first').addClass('sorting_asc');
};
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
