I have a dash table. Table allows edit. I want to sort the table by column, so that if user input data, the table is resorted right away. I achieve this like on the page https://dash.plotly.com/datatable/callbacks. The sort is already set when the page loads. I got stuck on the last step, where I want to hide the sort option from user. Is that possible?
Example on the image. I want to delete the arrows marked yellow, but keep sort by column ‘pop’.
edited code example from https://dash.plotly.com/datatable/callbacks:
import dash
from dash.dependencies import Input, Output
import dash_table
import pandas as pd
app = dash.Dash(__name__)
df = pd.read_csv('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/plotly/datasets/master/gapminder2007.csv')
PAGE_SIZE = 5
app.layout = dash_table.DataTable(
id='table-multicol-sorting',
columns=[
{"name": i, "id": i} for i in sorted(df.columns)
],
data=df.to_dict('records'),
page_size=PAGE_SIZE,
sort_action='native',
sort_mode='multi',
sort_as_null=['', 'No'],
sort_by=[{'column_id': 'pop', 'direction': 'asc'}],
editable=True,
)
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run_server(debug=True)

You can target the sort element and hide it using css
like this:
span.column-header--sort {
display: none;
}
So you can put that code in a css
file in your assets
directory for example. See the documentation here for more information about ways to include styles in a dash app.
