This example shows how the jQuery UI ThemeRoller option in DataTables can be used with ColReorder. The important thing to node here is how sDom is set up in order to include the required classes and elements.
$(document).ready( function () { var oTable = $('#example').dataTable( { "sDom": 'R<"H"lfr>t<"F"ip>', "bJQueryUI": true, "sPaginationType": "full_numbers" } ); } );
