We're Moving to a New Support Platform – Starting June 1st!
We’re excited to let you know that starting June 1st, we’ll be transitioning to a new support system that will be available directly on our product websites – Amelia, wpDataTables, and Report Builder. In fact, the new support platform is already live for Amelia and wpDataTables, and we encourage you to reach out to us there.
You'll always be able to reach us through a widget in the bottom right corner of each website, where you can ask questions, report issues, or simply get assistance.
While we still do not offer live support, a new advanced, AI-powered assistant, trained on our documentation, use cases, and real conversations with our team, is there to help with basic to intermediate questions in no time.
We're doing our best to make this transition smooth and hassle-free. After June 1st, this current support website will redirect you to the new "Contact Us" pages on our product sites.
Thanks for your continued support and trust – we’re excited to bring you an even better support experience!
Hello again,
sorry for so many questions, though its really important to me, and so far for my current problem, i wasn't even able to find a proper workaround. My question is: Is it possible to force sorting on a specific column? My aim is i have a boolean column, and would like to always put 'yes' values / rows at the bottom of the table.
I even tried tablesorter.js, but found out it does not work (probably because wpdt resolves sorting after the tablesorter?).
Thank you so much for your help so far.
Hello Vaclav.
Each column can be set to be the default sorting column for a table. You can access column settings, and go to "Sorting". There you can set the sorting to be either Ascending or Descending.
I hope this helps.
Best regards.
Kind Regards,
Aleksandar Vuković

Hi Aleksandar,
thank you for your response. This approach only allows me to set the initial sort, i.e. when the table loads. When the user then sorts on different columns, this predefined sort is ignored. What i wanted to achieve was to force the sort in all cases so that 'yes' values would always be at the bottom, but various other sorting would still be available.
Thank you again.
Hi again Vaclav.
I am sorry to disappoint you, but unfortunately something like this is not possible with the plugin's built in features.
You can create a table using an SQL query, where you would use the ORDER BY clause, and then the table will be sorted by this column by default. Then, you can disable sorting for the table, if that is an option of course.
Other than that, it would be considered as a custom solution, and can probably be implemented using our filters and hooks.
Best regards
Kind Regards,
