Each sort type must provide two mandatory methods, one each for ascending and descending sorting, and can optionally provide a pre-formatting method that will help speed up sorting by allowing DataTables to pre-format the sort data only once (rather than every time the actual sort functions are run).

Called only during initialisation of the table. It is expected that this function will add the required DOM elements to the page for the paging controls to work. The element pointer 'oSettings.aanFeatures.p' array is provided by DataTables to contain the paging controls (note that this is a 2D array to allow for multiple instances of each DataTables DOM element). It is suggested that you add the controls to this element as children <ul> <li> Function input parameters: <ul> <li>{object} DataTables settings object: see <a href="DataTable.models.oSettings.html">DataTable.models.oSettings</a>.</li> <li>{node} Container into which the pagination controls must be inserted</li> <li>{function} Draw callback function - whenever the controls cause a page change, this method must be called to redraw the table.</li> </ul> </li> <li> Function return: <ul> <li>No return required</li> </ul> </il> </ul> </il> <li> fnInit - This function is called whenever the paging status of the table changes and is typically used to update classes and/or text of the paging controls to reflex the new status. <ul> <li> Function input parameters: <ul> <li>{object} DataTables settings object: see <a href="DataTable.models.oSettings.html">DataTable.models.oSettings</a>.</li> <li>{function} Draw callback function - in case you need to redraw the table again or attach new event listeners</li> </ul> </li> <li> Function return: <ul> <li>No return required</li> </ul> </il> </ul> </il> </ul></p><div class="collapse_details"><dl class="details"> </dl> <h5>Example</h5> <div class="example-code"> <pre class="brush: js"> $.fn.dataTableExt.oPagination.four_button = { "fnInit": function ( oSettings, nPaging, fnCallbackDraw ) { nFirst = document.createElement( 'span' ); nPrevious = document.createElement( 'span' ); nNext = document.createElement( 'span' ); nLast = document.createElement( 'span' ); nFirst.appendChild( document.createTextNode( oSettings.oLanguage.oPaginate.sFirst ) ); nPrevious.appendChild( document.createTextNode( oSettings.oLanguage.oPaginate.sPrevious ) ); nNext.appendChild( document.createTextNode( oSettings.oLanguage.oPaginate.sNext ) ); nLast.appendChild( document.createTextNode( oSettings.oLanguage.oPaginate.sLast ) ); nFirst.className = "paginate_button first"; nPrevious.className = "paginate_button previous"; nNext.className="paginate_button next"; nLast.className = "paginate_button last"; nPaging.appendChild( nFirst ); nPaging.appendChild( nPrevious ); nPaging.appendChild( nNext ); nPaging.appendChild( nLast ); $(nFirst).click( function () { oSettings.oApi._fnPageChange( oSettings, "first" ); fnCallbackDraw( oSettings ); } ); $(nPrevious).click( function() { oSettings.oApi._fnPageChange( oSettings, "previous" ); fnCallbackDraw( oSettings ); } ); $(nNext).click( function() { oSettings.oApi._fnPageChange( oSettings, "next" ); fnCallbackDraw( oSettings ); } ); $(nLast).click( function() { oSettings.oApi._fnPageChange( oSettings, "last" ); fnCallbackDraw( oSettings ); } ); $(nFirst).bind( 'selectstart', function () { return false; } ); $(nPrevious).bind( 'selectstart', function () { return false; } ); $(nNext).bind( 'selectstart', function () { return false; } ); $(nLast).bind( 'selectstart', function () { return false; } ); }, "fnUpdate": function ( oSettings, fnCallbackDraw ) { if ( !oSettings.aanFeatures.p ) { return; } // Loop over each instance of the pager var an = oSettings.aanFeatures.p; for ( var i=0, iLen=an.length ; i<iLen ; i++ ) { var buttons = an[i].getElementsByTagName('span'); if ( oSettings._iDisplayStart === 0 ) { buttons[0].className = "paginate_disabled_previous"; buttons[1].className = "paginate_disabled_previous"; } else { buttons[0].className = "paginate_enabled_previous"; buttons[1].className = "paginate_enabled_previous"; } if ( oSettings.fnDisplayEnd() == oSettings.fnRecordsDisplay() ) { buttons[2].className = "paginate_disabled_next"; buttons[3].className = "paginate_disabled_next"; } else { buttons[2].className = "paginate_enabled_next"; buttons[3].className = "paginate_enabled_next"; } } } };</pre> </div> </div></dd><dt class=" even"><a name="oSort"></a><a name="oSort_details"></a><span class="type-attr"><span class="type-signature"><static> </span></span><span class="type-name"><a href="#oSort">oSort</a></span><span class="type-sig"><span class="type-signature"> :object</span></span></dt><dd class=" even"><p>Sorting plug-in methods - Sorting in DataTables is based on the detected type of the data column (you can add your own type detection functions, or override automatic detection using sType). With this specific type given to the column, DataTables will apply the required sort from the functions in the object. Each sort type must provide two mandatory methods, one each for ascending and descending sorting, and can optionally provide a pre-formatting method that will help speed up sorting by allowing DataTables to pre-format the sort data only once (rather than every time the actual sort functions are run). The two sorting functions are typical Javascript sort methods: <ul> <li> Function input parameters: <ul> <li>{<em>} Data to compare to the second parameter</li> <li>{</em>} Data to compare to the first parameter</li> </ul> </li> <li> Function return: <ul> <li>{int} Sorting match: <0 if first parameter should be sorted lower than the second parameter, ===0 if the two parameters are equal and >0 if the first parameter should be sorted height than the second parameter.</li> </ul> </il> </ul></p><div class="collapse_details"><dl class="details"> </dl> <h5>Examples</h5> <div class="example-code"> <pre class="brush: js"> // Case-sensitive string sorting, with no pre-formatting method $.extend( $.fn.dataTableExt.oSort, { "string-case-asc": function(x,y) { return ((x < y) ? -1 : ((x > y) ? 1 : 0)); }, "string-case-desc": function(x,y) { return ((x < y) ? 1 : ((x > y) ? -1 : 0)); } } ); </pre> </div> <div class="example-code"> <pre class="brush: js"> // Case-insensitive string sorting, with pre-formatting $.extend( $.fn.dataTableExt.oSort, { "string-pre": function(x) { return x.toLowerCase(); }, "string-asc": function(x,y) { return ((x < y) ? -1 : ((x > y) ? 1 : 0)); }, "string-desc": function(x,y) { return ((x < y) ? 1 : ((x > y) ? -1 : 0)); } } );</pre> </div> </div></dd><dt class=" odd"><a name="oStdClasses"></a><a name="oStdClasses_details"></a><span class="type-attr"><span class="type-signature"><static> </span></span><span class="type-name"><a href="#oStdClasses">oStdClasses</a></span><span class="type-sig"><span class="type-signature"> :object</span></span></dt><dd class=" odd"><p>Storage for the various classes that DataTables uses</p><div class="collapse_details"><dl class="details"> </dl> </div></dd><dt class=" even"><a name="sErrMode"></a><a name="sErrMode_details"></a><span class="type-attr"><span class="type-signature"><static> </span></span><span class="type-name"><a href="#sErrMode">sErrMode</a></span><span class="type-sig"><span class="type-signature"> :string</span></span></dt><dd class=" even"><p>How should DataTables report an error.
