    Is there a way to restrict sorting to only one specific column in the table? We currently have three columns and only want the sorting option for the third column labeled “Year(s)”.

    Hi!

    Thanks for your post and sorry for the trouble!

    Yes, this is possible! Essentially, you’ll have to pass a small piece of configuration code to the JavaScript library that TablePress uses for the sorting of the table on the frontend.

    This is is possible by adding a “Custom Command” to the respective input field on the table’s “Edit” screen, in particular a command that sets the orderable flag on the columns, see the JavaScript library’s documentation at https://datatables.net/reference/option/columns.orderable.

    For more detailed help and a specific solution for your site and table, please consider the direct email support option. Thanks for your understanding!

    Best wishes,
    Tobias
