titleRow

Since: DataTables 2.3

Control which row in the header is the title row.

Description

This option can be used to control how DataTables which cells in a table header are treated as a "title cell".

Title cells are used for the following in DataTables:

Indicate the ordering status of its column(s) (`-init ordering.indicators)
Have a click / return key listener on them to activate ordering (ordering.handler)
Column titles (columns.title and column().title()).

You can give this option as one of several values:

A number - this will specify the row index in the header that is used for the above.
true - the cells in the top row (index 0) will be used for the title cells
false - the cells in the bottom row will be used for the title cells
null (default) - all cells will be used for ordering operations, and the first unique cell (i.e. colspan=1) will be used for the column title.

This option can be given in the following type(s):

null

Use the first row in the header as the title row:

new DataTable('#myTable', {
	titleRow: 0
});

Use the second row in the header as the title row:

new DataTable('#myTable', {
	titleRow: 1
});
