Disable sorting for a particular column in jQuery DataTables

Question

I am using the jQuery DataTables plugin to sort the table fields. My question is: how do I disable sorting for a particular column? I have tried with the following code, but it did not work:

"aoColumns": [
  { "bSearchable": false },
  null
]   

I have also tried the following code:

"aoColumnDefs": [
  {
    "bSearchable": false,
    "aTargets": [ 1 ]
  }
]

but this still did not produce the desired results.

This is what you're looking for:

$('#example').dataTable( {
      "aoColumnDefs": [
          { 'bSortable': false, 'aTargets': [ 1 ] }
       ]
});
