dataTables temporarily disable sorting
<p>I have a sortable dataTable filled with data where you can edit the data when you click on it.</p>

<p>Before clicking it looks like this:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;input type='text' value='...' size=3 disabled&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>And when clicking: </p>

<pre><code>$('#table1 tbody').on( 'click', 'tr', function () 
{
    var olddata = "";
    olddata = table.cell( this, 3 ).data();
    table.cell( this, 3 ).data( "&lt;input type='text' value='" + olddata + "' size=3 style='background-color:white'&gt;" );
});
</code></pre>

<p>However when you click on a row it changes position since it now also contains extra html code , and if this was the active ordering column it ends up at the bottom or top.</p>

<p>I sort using:</p>

<pre><code>var columnSet = 
[
    ...
    {title: "Mycolumn", width:"1%", "type": "string"},
    ...
];
</code></pre>

<p>So my question is, is it possible to temporarily disable sorting in the whole table when a row is clicked, and then enable again when done editing, or alternatively sort based on  value attribute?</p>
