Hi @hiepn06 ,

That's not possible, I'm afraid, the sorting will always be across the table as a whole.

Cheers,

It looks like you might be able to use the Absolute sorting plugin to make this work. In the example if you hold shift while clicking the Position column you can see that the rows the are absolutely sorted (Unknown in first column) are sorted independent of the remaining rows.

I think you could do something similar and have your first ten rows with a specific keyword like Unknown or whatever you want and the reset with something else. You could hide this column with columns.visible and orderFixed to always order the table by this column.
