searchPanes.order

Since: SearchPanes 1.1.0

Set the order of the Panes.
Please note - this property requires the SearchPanes extension for DataTables.

Description

This option is an alias to searchPanes.order, which should be preferred when using DataTables 2+. It can be used to configure SearchPanes regardless of how the panes are inserted into the document (layout or searchPanes).

Please refer to the documentation for searchPanes.order for full details of this option.

Type

string

Description:

By setting the searchPanes.order to an array of the columns.searchPanes.name property of the SearchPanes, the panes are displayed in that order.

By default the columns.searchPanes.name is set to be the title of the column, or the searchPanes.panes.header value for custom Panes. This can be overridden if desired.

Default

Value: []

The default value for the searchPanes.order parameter is an empty array allowing SearchPanes to use the default order..

Examples

Set the order of the panes:

new DataTable('#myTable', {
	layout: {
		top1: 'searchPanes'
	},
	searchPanes: {
		order: ['Age', 'Office', 'Position']
	}
});

Set the order of the panes including a custom name:

new DataTable('#myTable', {
	columnDefs: [
		{
			searchPanes: {
				name: 'Length of Life'
			},
			targets: [3]
		}
	],
	layout: {
		top1: 'searchPanes'
	},
	searchPanes: {
		order: ['Length of Life', 'Office', 'Position']
