Default Sort Descending

Confirming this one for datatables 7.x-1.1. Setting a column to default sort desceding does not change the view's default sorting. Tried it for both numerical and string type columns.

Submitting a patch that seems to fix it. Just changing the $options key that contains the default sort value.

It fixed sorting for me. Looks RTBC.

I can't apply this patch for 7.x-1.x-dev, patch is outdated

Checking patch datatables.module...
error: while searching for:

// Set default sort order
if ($options['default'] == $field) {
$datatable_options['aaSorting'] = array(array($position, $options['order']));
}

// Create a second variable so we can easily find what fields we have and what the

error: patch failed: datatables.module:196

upload new one.

Updating the issue status.

Oh sorry, selected wrong status, it's RTBC :)

I've tested the current stable and dev version for D7. Default Sort Descending still doesn't work.

Datatable counts all the fields in the view in order to determine the position of the sort column, howerver we need to skip the fields that exist in the view but have the Exclude from display checkbox enabled:

if($fields[$field]->options['exclude'] == 0) {
  $position++;
}
