jquery datatable disable sort in specific row

Question

How to disable sorting in specific row/column in jquery datatable using a class? here's my sample table; ``` ....

Title1	Title2	Title3
Tag 1	Date 1	Date 2
Tag 2	Date 2	Date 2
Tag 3	Date 3	Date 3
Tag 4	Date 4	Date 4
Tag 5	Date 5	Date 5

``` script; ``` $('.sortable thead tr th.sorting_disabled').livequery(function() { $(this).removeClass('sorting'); $(this).unbind('click'); }); ``` above code works but if I click to the next column who has a sorting its shows again an arrow. though its not clickable ;( How can I disable the sorting by using a class and not using/redraw a table.

Accepted Answer

You can disable the sorting using a class in definition. Just add this code to the datatable initialization:

```
// Disable sorting on the sorting_disabled class
"aoColumnDefs" : [ {
    "bSortable" : false,
    "aTargets" : [ "sorting_disabled" ]
} ]
```
