Question

I’m new to jQuery dataTables and I’m overwhelmed.

But now using it in a shopsystem I have a problem.

The SQL-statement in my sourcecode ends with
ORDER BY orders_id DESC

When I open the shop backend the sorting order is set to
ORDER BY orders_id ASC by jQuery dataTables.

Do I need a plugin or is there an attribute for jquery dataTables to keep the sorting?

I found this example in their api docs. http://datatables.net/api

$(document).ready(function() {
     var oTable = $('#example').dataTable();

     // Sort immediately with columns 0 and 1
     oTable.fnSort( [ [0,'asc'], [1,'asc'] ] );
   } );
