## Lock sort order

### Flexible client-side table sorting

Back to documentation

NOTE!

- This option was part of the original plugin, but it was broken.
- Sort the first, third and fifth columns to see how the sort is locked.
- Columns can be locked using any of the following methods (they all do the same thing), in order of priority (v2.3+):
  - jQuery data `data-lockedorder="asc"`. (equivalent to `data-locked-order="asc"`).
  - metadata `class="{ lockedOrder: 'asc'}"`. This requires the metadata plugin.
  - headers option `headers : { 0 : { lockedOrder: 'asc' } }`.
  - header class name `class="lockedOrder-asc"`.
