Error "dataTable.order() is not a function"
Error "dataTable.order() is not a function"

Note: I have seen that this question has been asked before, but the solution (one jQuery instead of multiple) doesn't help me sadly. I only include jQuery once, and the datatables.min.js and .min.css files are included after.
Whenever I order my table, it's supposed to log which order the user decided to choose. But, using this code right here:
dataTable = $("#hourTable").dataTable({
language: {
url: "frameworks/de_de.json",
responsive: true
}
});
$("#hourTable").on("order.dt", function(){
var order = dataTable.order();
console.log( 'Ordering on column '+order[0][0]+' ('+order[0][1]+')' );
});
does not work. The event does get triggered whenever I need it, but instead of the order chosen, I get the error dataTable.order() is not a function. I did try to print out the dataTable object, and this returns a big amount of functions, but not the one I'm looking for. Here's an example of what I get:
So, I guess it is working correctly? I'm not able to get the order of the table though. Is there something I'm doing wrong here?
Thanks in advance

That returns a jQuery object, rather than a DataTables API instance. You want:

Thanks @allan for the quick response!
I tinkered around a bit more and found this solution that works pretty well too:
Yes that will do nicely with the
orderlistener.If you were to use the
$().DataTable()constructor to get the API instance, then you could also use theon()event listener:Note that is adds the
.dtnamespace automatically.Allan
