Is it possible to add a classname (defaultsort) to a TH, so that datatables always sorts on this column?

    Something like this should do the trick:

    [code]
    $('#example').dataTable({
    "aaSorting": [[$('#example thead tr th').index($('th.defaultsort')[0]), 'asc']]
    });
    [/code]

    thanks! is it also possible to do this within:

    this doesn't work...

    [code]
    "aoColumnDefs": [
    {
    "aaSorting": [[$('#DTsortable thead tr th').index($('th.sortdefault')[0]), 'asc']],
    "aTargets": [ 'sortdefault' ]
    }
    ]
    [/code]

    There is no aaSorting option for a column definition ( http://datatables.net/usage/columns ) - so no that wouldn't work. aaSorting is a general initialisation option, not a column specific one (since it can span multiple columns).
