Disable sorting for a particular column in jQuery DataTables

Question

I am using the jQuery DataTables plugin to sort the table fields. My question is: how do I disable sorting for a particular column? I have tried with the following code, but

Answer 1

1. Use the following code to disable ordering on first column:

   $('#example').dataTable( {
     "columnDefs": [
       { "orderable": false, "targets": 0 }
     ]
   } );
   

2. To disable default ordering, you can also use:

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