When we use the Datatables style plugin for a view and leave the column to default sort by as None, the view still sorts the first sortable column by default. The reason I think is that in the theme preprocessor, where the settings are moved to Javascript, the key aaSorting is not set until there is at least one row to default sort by.

Here is a small patch that seems to fix this issue.

Works for me too.
I have the results sorted by Views and Datatables sorting set to none.
