 * Hi,
 * I am looking to remove the sorting arrows for columns 1 & 2. I dont need sorting
   on these two but on the rest I do.
 * Appreciate any guidance.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * For this, you can use a “Custom Command”. Please try adding this to the “Custom
   Commands” text field on the table’s “Edit” screen:
 *     ```
       "columnDefs": [ { "orderable": false, "targets": [ 0, 1 ] } ]
       ```
   
 * Regards,

 * Thanks for the quick response. It worked, sorting is now not visible on columns
   1 and 2, however on the 2nd column if you hover on the header it is still sortable
   but the arrows are invisible. Anything I can do to fix that?

 * Hi,
 * that sounds strange. Can you please post a link to the page with the table where
   this problem happens, so that I can take a direct look? Thanks!

 * Hi,
 * thanks for the link! However, I can not reproduce this. The first column (“PROJECT”)
   is not sortable, and neither is the second column (with an empty header cell).
   The third column (“ASSET CLASS”) is sortable again.
    I have a feeling that what
   you mean with “clickable” is the left part of the third column already.

 * Thanks
