I have created a basic table in js fiddle. I am using the datatable sorter function, however if you click along the headers, or click a header, skip one and click another, it seems to ignore the first mouse-click. (To replicate the issue click on Confirmation Period, then ABN, then back to Confirmation Period)
Any thoughts?
<table id="tableSort" class="tableSort" cellspacing="0" style="margin-top:20px;margin-left:10px;">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Confirmation Period</th>
<th>Legal/Entity Name</th>
<th>ABN</th>
<th>Business/Trading Name</th>
<th>Status</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tr>
<td>1</td>
<td>a</td>
<td>34</td>
<td>78</td>
<td>b</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>2</td>
<td>c</td>
<td>100</td>
<td>90</td>
<td>g</td>
</tr>
and the JS...
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#tableSort').dataTable({
"searching": false,
"paging": false,
"info": false
});
});

The table is actually sorting as expected. There are two reasons why it looks like the columns aren't sorting:
Here is a fiddle where I have added sufficient rows so that the columns appear to be sorting correctly.
I just added more rows to your fiddle:
<tr>
<td>1</td>
<td>a</td>
<td>34</td>
<td>78</td>
<td>b</td>
</tr>
