How to disable sorting on jQuery.DataTables init?

Question

Is anyone tried DataTables, when I bind(init) it to a <table>, data is sorted.

Is there anyway to disable the default sorting?

According to DataTabe's reference manual, this should work:

$('#example').dataTable({
    "aaSorting": []
});

try this:

$(document).ready(function () {
        $('#example').dataTable({
            "order": [[3, "desc"]]
        });
    });
