Index column

Replies: 1

Hi there!

I would like to fix the first column (disable it from sorting with the rest of the columns).

The FixedColumns option is not what I am looking for as this just freezes the column when scrolling.

I used this code to disable sorting on the first column:

"columnDefs": [
{ "orderable": false, "targets": 0 }
]

However, this option just takes away the sorting button on top.
What I really want is explained on this page:
https://datatables.net/examples/api/counter_columns.html

To do this I tried the following code, but unfortunately this also doens’t work:

$(document).ready(function() {
    var t = $('#example').DataTable( {
 "columnDefs": [ {
            "searchable": false,
            "orderable": false,
            "targets": 0
        } ],
        "order": [[ 1, 'asc' ]]
;
                 
    t.on( 'draw.dt', function () {
    var PageInfo = $('#example').DataTable().page.info();
         t.column(0, { page: 'current' }).nodes().each( function (cell, i) {
            cell.innerHTML = i + 1 + PageInfo.start;
        } );
    } );
} );

Does anyone have a solution to get this working?
