Hey Tobias,

thank you for your time, i appreciate it a lot!
I’ll check out the correct inserting of code into the custom commands, though for now/today i’m out.

Thanks and all the best

Thanks for your quick reply.
But nope, that didn’t solved the problem, i already tried that.

Maybe you can give me another hint: how do i get these code-snippets from the datatables.net site to work, like this:

        drawCallback: function () {
          api = this.api();
          var arr = api.columns(2).data()[0].map(function(x) { return x.split(' ')[0] });  //get array of column 3 (extn)
          //var arr = api.columns(2).data()[0];  //get array of column 3 (extn)          
          console.log("ARR: " + arr);
          var sorted = arr.slice().sort(function(a,b){return b-a});
          var ranks = arr.slice().map(function(v){ return sorted.indexOf(v)+1 });
          console.log("SORTED: " + sorted);
          console.log("RANKS: " + ranks);
          // interate through each row
          api.rows().every( function ( rowIdx, tableLoop, rowLoop ) {
            var data = this.data();
            var n = data.extn.split(' ')[0];
            console.log("XX " + data.extn +" : " + ranks[arr.indexOf(n)]);
            data.rank = ranks[arr.indexOf(n)];  //set the rank column = the array index of the extn in the ranked array
            //$('#example tbody tr:eq('+rowIdx+') td:eq(4)').html(ranks[arr.indexOf(data.extn)]);
            this.data(data);
                
              
              } );

//            api.rows().invalidate();
          }

It fires js-errors …
