ColReorder v1.1.0

Options

In general ColReorder doesn't require much initialisation, and as such doesn't provide any options. Having said that there are a couple of options as shown below.

Initialisation

Initialisation of ColReorder can be performed in one of two different ways:

  1. Using the DataTables sDom initialisation option and the parameter 'R' that ColReorder adds to DataTables. For example: 
    $(document).ready( function () {
	$('#example').dataTable( {
		"sDom": 'Rlfrtip'
	} );
} );
  2. Using new $.fn.dataTable.ColReorder();: 
    $(document).ready( function () {
	var table = $('#example').DataTable();
	new $.fn.dataTable.ColReorder( table );
} );

ColReorder options

		}
	} );
} );
