What versions you are using?

- angular version: 1.5.0
- jquery version: 2.2.0
- datatables version: 1.10.16
- angular-datatables version:  0.6.2 or 0.6.3-dev

Current behavior

Like mentioned in #295 when I pre-sort my table by its first column, every time I re-order that column it calls my back-end twice. There are two requests, and a strange flickering occurs.

Expected behaviour

I think that just one request should be made, and that flickering should not happen.

Minimal reproduction of the problem with instructions

I tried to use some online tool like plnkr or codepen, but was unable to do because I need to make a call without JSONP. Here you can find a mini-project that I made based on a previous pen provided by the author of this project on #295.

I found it strange that the code in the pen works without a problem because the code on my project it's almost the same. I tried to reproduce my problem outside of my project but was unable, until today, and the motive maybe can help to find the problem.

I noticed that in the pen above, the data requested from the server is made by a jquery ajax call. In my project and in my demo I use angular's $http.get to retrieve what I need.

So, we have a few points:

• If I don't pre-order my table by one column, this problem doesn't occur.
• If I use jquery ajax to retrieve my data, this problem doesn't occur either.
• If I pre-order my table and use a $http.get to retrieve the data, the request is made twice (even for the language json file url).
• If I order my table by its second column, the first one doesn't trigger this problem anymore.

Mmh, yes it's weird... When you are using the $http.get, you will get double request.
However, if you use the jQuery.ajax instead, you will only get one call. Maybe there is something about angularjs digest cycles 🤔

I am also using $http.get and my table flickers for like 3 seconds during the binding of data. Is this has to do with $http.get? Will it get resolved if I use jquery ajax
