DataTable is defined as
var oTable = $(\'#table1\').dataTable({ \'aaData\': [ [\'John\', \'ABC\', \'$90000\'], [\'Doe\', \'XYZ\', \'$100000
I don't believe it is possible without some custom sorting functions. Position is based entirely on the sort. The developer backs this up here: http://bit.ly/1gtYHyk and here http://bit.ly/PxHKgM
