Multi-column ordering
DataTables allows ordering by multiple columns at the same time, which can be activated in a number of different ways:User shift click on a column (added the clicked column as a secondary, tertiary etc ordering column).On a per-column basis (i.e. order by a specific column and then a secondary column if the data in the first column is identical), through thecolumns.orderData option.Using the columns.orderData optionoption to specify a multiple column order by default (for example [ 0, 1 ]).Through the order() API API method.Note that, the ability for the user to shift click to order multiple columns can be disabled through the orderMulti optionoption.The example below shows the first column having a secondary order applied to the second column in the table, vice-versa for the second column being tied directly to the first and the salary column to the first name column.

Multiple tables
Often you might wish to initialise multiple tables with a single statement. This is trivially done by using a jQuery selector which will pick up multiple tables.The tables are independent for user control (i.e. user controlled paging on one table does not effect the others), but they do share the initialisation parameters given (for example if you specific the Spanish language file, all tables will be shown in Spanish). Additionally, the API can be used to manipulate both together, or independently.The example below shows two tables initialised with a single line of code, through the use of the table.display selector (i.e. select all elements which have the class of table.display (which is suitable in this example, you might wish to use a different selector).

Hidden columns
There are times when you might find it useful to display only a sub-set of the information that was available in the original table. For example you might want to reduce the amount of data shown on screen to make it clearer for the user (consider also using the Responsive extension for this). This is done through the columns.visible column optionoption.The column that is hidden is still part of the table and can be made visible through the api column().visible() API method at a future time if you wish to have columns which can be shown and hidden.Furthermore, as the hidden data is still part of the table, it can still, optionally, be filtered upon allowing the user access to that data (for example 'tag' information for a row entry might used).In the table below both the office and age version columns have been hidden, the former is not searchable, the latter is.

Complex headers (rowspan and colspan)
When using tables to display data, you will often wish to display column information in groups. DataTables fully supports colspan androwspan in the table's header, assigning the required order listeners to the TH element suitable for that column. Each column must have one TH cell which is unique to it for the listeners to be added. By default DataTables will use the bottom unique cell for the column to attach the order listener, if more than one cell for a column if found. The orderCellsTop:optionoption can be used to tell DataTables to use the top cell if you prefer.The example shown below has two sets of grouped information, grouped by colspan in the header.

DOM Positioning
When customising DataTables for your own usage, you might find that the default position of the feature elements (filter input etc) is not quite to your liking. To address this issue DataTables takes inspiration from the CSS 3 Advanced Layout Module and provides the dom:option initialisation parameter which can be set to indicate where you wish particular features to appear in the DOM. You can also specify div wrapping containers (with an id and / or class) to provide complete layout flexibility.Each HTML control element presented by DataTables is denoted by a single character in the dom:option option. For example the l option is used for the Length changing input option.

Flexible table width
Often you may want to have your table resize dynamically with the page. Typically this is done by assigning width:100% in your CSS, but this presents a problem for Javascript since it can be very hard to get that relative size rather than the absolute pixels. As such, if you apply thewidth attribute to the HTML table tag or inline width style (style="width:100%"), it will be used as the width for the table (overruling any CSS styles).This example shows a table with width="80%" and the container is also flexible width, so as the window is resized, the table will also resize dynamically.

State saving
DataTables has the option of being able to save the state of a table (its paging position, ordering state etc) so that is can be restored when the user reloads a page, or comes back to the page after visiting a sub-page. This state saving ability is enabled by the stateSave option.The built in state saving method uses the HTML5 localStorage and sessionStorage APIs for efficient storage of the data. Please note that this means that the built in state saving option will not work with IE6/7 as these browsers do not support these APIs. Alternative options of using cookies or saving the state on the server through Ajax can be used through the stateSaveCallback and stateLoadCallback options.The duration for which the saved state is valid and can be used to restore the table state can be set using the stateDuration initialisation parameter (2 hours by default). This parameter also controls if localStorage (0 or greater) or sessionStorage (-1) is used to store the data.The example below simply shows state saving enabled in DataTables with the stateSave option.

Alternative pagination
The default page control presented by DataTables (forward and backward buttons with up to 7 page numbers in-between) is fine for most situations, but there are cases where you may wish to customise the options presented to the end user. This is done through DataTables' extensible pagination mechanism, the pagingType option.

Scroll - vertical
This example shows the DataTables table body scrolling in the vertical direction. This can generally be seen as an alternative method to pagination for displaying a large table in a fairly small vertical area, and as such pagination has been disabled here (note that this is not mandatory, it will work just fine with pagination enabled as well!).

Scroll - vertical, dynamic height
This example shows a vertically scrolling DataTable that makes use of the CSS3 vh unit in order to dynamically resize the viewport based on the browser window height. The vh unit is effectively a percentage of the browser window height. So the 50vh used in this example is 50% of the window height. The viewport size will update dynamically as the window is resized.A relatively modern browser is required for vh units to operate correctly. IE9+ supports the vh unit and all other evergreen browsers.
