jQWidgets is a JavaScript framework for making web-based applications for PC and mobile devices. It is a very powerful, optimized, platform-independent, and widely supported framework. The jqxDataTable is used for reading and displaying the data from the HTML Table. This is also used to display data from various data sources like XML, JSON, Array, CSV, or TSV.

The sortable property is used for enabling or disabling the sorting feature of the specified jqxDataTable.

Syntax:

Set the sortable property:

$('#dataTable').jqxDataTable({sortable: true});

var sortable = $('#dataTable').jqxDataTable('sortable');
