How to remove sorting option from DataTables?

Question

I'm using DataTables plugin. I don't want to use the sorting option (to sort the columns in ASC or DESC order) which comes by default on each <thead>. How can I remove that sorting icon?

Answer 1

In the new version 1.10 of jQuery DataTables you must use ordering option to disable ordering on the entire table:

$('#example').DataTable({     "ordering": false }); 

Answer 2

Very similar to @ravisolanki07 , it's just a different way to achieve this.

var oTable = $('#example').dataTable( {     "aoColumnDefs": [         { "bSortable": false, "aTargets": [ 0, 1, 2, 3 ] },          { "bSearchable": false, "aTargets": [ 0, 1, 2, 3 ] }     ] });
