 * Hellok,
    I am trying to figure out how to create a table that does not ascend
   or descend. I just want the table to display in the order that it was created.
   Thank you. Elaine

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * This should actually be the default, i.e. no automatic sorting is applied…
    Can
   you please post a link to the page with the table where this problem happens,
   so that I can take a direct look? Thanks!
 * Or do you just want to turn off the feature that a user can sort the table? Then
   simply uncheck the checkboxes for the undesired features on the table’s “Edit”
   screen, or (if you want to turn off all features at once), uncheck the “Use DataTables”
   checkbox there.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Thanks Tobias,
    I actually did get it to work by turning off the sort feature.
   I thought I did that but actually didn’t. Works great now, thank you!!
