how to avoid a column from sorting in jquery datatable

Question

I am using jquery datatable, I want avoid a column while sorting other columns, that is that column should remain static.

@rmondesilva this is for disable sorting a particular column, while sorting other columns it will affect. My requirement is that column should not be change, i should remain same — user3189828

"orderFixed": [ column index, sort ];

$('#tbl').DataTable({
                "orderFixed": [ 0, 'asc' ]
          });

it is not working. while sorting other columns the value inside fixed column also affected

It works on mine. I think it's better if you will also post your codes. So we can see the problem clearly why it does not work.
