 * Hi!
 * Is it possible to launch sorting only for specified columns?
 * I mean I have 3 columns: `name, phonenumber, points` and I want only name and
   points to be sortable – is it possible?
 * Thank you!

 * Hi,
 * yes, this is possible with a “Custom Command” for the DataTables JavaScript library.
   That command looks like this
 *     ```
       "aoColumnDefs": [ { "bSortable": false, "aTargets": [ "column-1" ] } ]
       ```
   
 * and needs to be pasted into the “Custom Commands” text field in the “DataTables
   JavaScript features” section on the “Edit” screen of your table. The “column-
   1” determines which column should not be sortable, so change that as necessary.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
