Disable ascending/descending order in jquery tablesorter only for initial page load

Question

I created mvc 4 application , in this application I'm listing down a table

this is view of it

Each time its listing down ascending order , according to first column value

this is jquery code snippet

        $(function () {
        $("#table-hover").tablesorter({ widthFixed: true, sortList: [[0, 0]] })
        .tablesorterPager({ container: $("#pager"), size: $(".pagesize option:selected").val() });
    }); 

I want to disable this ascending/descending feature and keep remain pagination of jquery tablesorter plugin in initial page load

If you only need pagination, then you really don't need to use tablesorter. I'm sure asp.net provides a method to add it.

In any case, since you appear to be using the original tablesorter, you could disable every column to prevent sorting as @oMiKey suggests. If you use my fork of tablesorter, simply add "sorter-false" to each header cell.

To prevent the initial sort, remove the sortList: [[0, 0]] option from the initialization code:

$(function () {
    $("#table-hover")
        .tablesorter({
            widthFixed: true
        })
        .tablesorterPager({
            container: $("#pager"),
            size: $(".pagesize option:selected").val()
        });
});
