Jquery Datatables column search for checked checkbox

Question

In my jQuery datatable I use a column().search() searchbox for every column.

I have one column where each row contains a checkbox.

Now I want to filter the table to display only the rows where the checkbox is checked (or respectively unchecked).

Any ideas how to implement this, or pointers to examples?

I have used a "text" next to the checkbox with the state e.g. "Enabled" or "Disabled". This works, but looks a bit strange. — arved

If you meant sorting the checkbox column for selected and un-selected items .If you already had a column definition for 'select-checkbox' ,update the property orderable: true. Please refer this example: datatables.net/extensions/select/examples/initialisation/… — Aditya

Thanks Aditya, I am not using the select extension. The Checkbox is just a representation of a boolean value in the record. — arved

I found an answer:

Use the render function to display the checkbox only if the type is "display" for "search" use the data.
