support of nested columns

Hello,

I just made a quick tryout to show all Meteor.users in a DataTable to test this plugin.

Template.userList.users = function () {
    return {
        id: "operator-user-list",
        columns: [
            {
                title: "ID",
                data: "_id"
            },
            {
                title: "First name",
                data: "profile.firstName"
            },
            {
                title: "Last name",
                data: "profile.lastName"
            }
        ],
        subscription: "operatorAllUser"
    }
};

Template.html:

{{> DataTable users}}

Publication:

var UserTable = new DataTableComponent({
    subscription: "operatorAllUser",
    collection: Meteor.users
});

UserTable.publish();

The _id of the user is displayed, but profile.firstName and profile.lastName is empty. Thanks for some infos.

Hello again, with following code the data is getting rendered:

mRender: function (data, type, row) {
                    return data;
                }

But now I am facing the problem that the ordering is now working correctly. Any ideas why? Thanks

Are you still defining the data property? That is what datatables uses to determine sort order.

@austinrivas I figured out that it was because of mongodb sort and case sensitivity. Sorting seems to work correctly.
