 * Hi – I am a new user of TablePress and have made a simple two column table [http://bit.ly/14GYema](http://bit.ly/14GYema)
 * For this table I do not want users to sort but I would like the table in alphabetical
   order on the first column.
 * I found what I though was a solution and that was to put “aaSorting”: [[0,’asc’]]
   in custom commands but it does not seem to be working for me 🙁

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post and sorry for the trouble!
 * Yes, that “Custom Command” only works, if the sorting is enabled.
    Now, as you
   don’t want any of the JS features on the table, I’d actually suggest this: – 
   Uncheck the “Use DataTables” checkbox. – Sort the table directly on the “Edit”
   screen by using the sort function near the column name at the top of the column.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
