DataTables has most features enabled by default, so all you need to do to use it with your own tables is to call the construction function: $().DataTable();. You can refer full documentation from here Datatables

With DataTables you can alter the ordering characteristics of the table at initialisation time. Using the order | option order initialisation parameter, you can set the table to display the data in exactly the order that you want.

On a per-column basis (i.e. order by a specific column and then a secondary column if the data in the first column is identical), through the columns.orderData option.

When customising DataTables for your own usage, you might find that the default position of the feature elements (filter input etc) is not quite to your liking. To address this issue DataTables takes inspiration from the CSS 3 Advanced Layout Module and provides the dom initialisation parameter which can be set to indicate where you wish particular features to appear in the DOM. You can also specify div wrapping containers (with an id and / or class) to provide complete layout flexibility.

The default page control presented by DataTables (forward and backward buttons with up to 7 page numbers in-between) is fine for most situations, but there are cases where you may wish to customise the options presented to the end user. This is done through DataTables' extensible pagination mechanism, the pagingType option.
