NOTE!
- Adding "sortInitialOrder" inside of the "headers" option was added in version 2.0.8 (not part of the original plugin).
- In versions 2.3+, the initial sort order of the columns can be set using any of the following methods (they all do the same thing), in order of priority:
				- jQuery data data-sort-initial-order="desc"(equivalent todata-sortinitialorder="desc").
- metadata class="{ sortInitialOrder: "desc" }". This requires the metadata plugin.
- headers option headers : { 0 : { sortInitialOrder: "desc" } }.
- header class name class="sortInitialOrder-desc".
- overall sortInitialOrderoption setting.
 
- jQuery data
