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!!

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.
