I am having a problem with sorting.
By default it is put on the second header line but I want it on the first and not on the second.
The second header row may seem silly when viewed like this, but in reality I will use this to search for each respective column.
Below is a working example of what is happening to me.
$(document).ready( function () {
var table = $('#example').DataTable({
colReorder: true,
"footerCallback": function ( row, data, start, end, display ) {
var api = this.api(), data;
// Append footer if it doesn't exist
if ($('#example').find('tfoot').length ===0) {
var footer = $('<tfoot><tr><th colspan="6">g</th></tr></tfoot>');
$('#example').append(footer);
}
// Remove the formatting to get integer data for summation
var intVal = function ( i ) {
return typeof i === 'string' ?
i.replace(/[$,]/g, '')*1 :
typeof i === 'number' ?
i : 0;
};
// Total over all pages
total = api
.column( 5 )
.data()
.reduce( function (a, b) {
return intVal(a) + intVal(b);
}, 0 );
// Total over this page
pageTotal = api
.column( 5, { page: 'current'} )
.data()
.reduce( function (a, b) {
return intVal(a) + intVal(b);
}, 0 );
// Update footer
$( '#example tfoot th:eq(0)' ).html(
'$'+pageTotal +' ( $'+ total +' total)'
);
}
});
} );<!DOCTYPE html>
