You can reorder your jquery table by double clicking in the header or by selecting the desired option in the context menu. The example shows how to change the order of your jquery table programmatically.

<input type='button' value='Order by' onclick="$('#my').jexcel('orderBy', $(this).next().val())">
<select>

<option value='1'>Column 2</option>
<option value='2'>Column 3</option>
<option value='3'>Column 4</option>
</select>

Programmatically sorting

<script>
$('#my').jexcel('orderBy', 1); // Order by the second column (The column number starts on zero)
</script>

Disable the table sorting

The ordering is a native enabled feature. To disable that feature please use the columnSorting:false, directive in the initialization.

<script>
data = [
    ['Mazda', 2001, 2000, '2006-01-01'],
    ['Pegeout', 2010, 5000, '2005-01-01'],
    ['Honda Fit', 2009, 3000, '2004-01-01'],
    ['Honda CRV', 2010, 6000, '2003-01-01'],
];

$('#my').jexcel({
    data:data,
    colHeaders: ['Model', 'Year', 'Price', 'Date'],
    colWidths: [ 300, 80, 100, 100 ],
    columns: [
        { type: 'text' },
        { type: 'text' },
        { type: 'text' },
        { type: 'text' },
    ],
    columnSorting:false,
});
