ordering.handler
Control the click to order listener for column headers.
Description
When ordering is enabled for a DataTable you need a way for the end user to activate ordering on a column's data. This option controls the built in handler for that in DataTables. If enabled a listener is added to header cells (both click and for accessability the enter key) that will trigger ordering on a column.
It can be useful to disable this ability if you wish to use an extension such as ColumnControl to control column ordering.
If this option is disabled, the header cells for the table do not show a pointer cursor when hovered over (the classes dt-orderable-desc and dt-orderable-asc are removed).
It is worth highlighting that this option interacts with columns.orderable: if disabled, the listener is not added.
Type
This option can be given in the following type(s):
Default
true
Example
Disable the built in order listener:
new DataTable('#myTable', {
ordering: {
