Default column sort order and mRender implementation

[jandic]

Extended to support specification of default column sort order and mRender function specification. mRender function can be used for manipulating cell content on client side (e.g. make it a hyperlink with an image).

Thanks for the code.

I'm sure you noticed, but if you didn't, you can also do cell rendering if you don't want to use mRender using the transform parameter:

DataTables.Create(userVms, dataTableParam, userVm => new { Name = "<a href='...'>" + userVm.Name + "</a>});

which does it server side.

Hi, yes, I saw that. But if you want to generate some long HTML based on an id, it makes more sense to do that client side to save bandwidth.

Sure thing - I think it's definitely good to have the option of either approach.
