Hi nawneel,

No, not by using Splunk internal features....But, you could do it using sideview utils like described in this answer from @sideview https://answers.splunk.com/answers/215137/prevent-users-from-table-sorting-when-clicking-on.html

cheers, MuS

Thanks for response @MuS
I do not intend to use sideviews utils.

This can be done using a JS trick. Add following code in JS.

function disableSorting(){
    console.log('disableSorting called');
    jQuery(document).ready(function(){
        console.log($('.sorts').length);
        if($('.sorts').length == 0){
            setTimeout(function(){
                disableSorting();
            }, 500);
        }else{
            $('.sorts').each(function(){ 
                var elem = $(this); 
                elem.removeClass('sorts')
            });
        }
    });
}

function validateJQueryLoaded(){
    console.log('validateJQueryLoaded called');
    if (typeof jQuery === 'undefined') {
        setTimeout(function(){
            validateJQueryLoaded();
        }, 500);
    }else{
       disableSorting();
    }
}

validateJQueryLoaded();

Please Note: This JS has to be executed once the Data Table loads in the page.

Thanks!!
