Solution 1

A basic DataTable needs at least this:

HTML

<script>		
$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#example').DataTable( {
        "ajax":{
		"url":"URL HERE",
		"cache": true,
		"dataSrc": "People",}, // eg. DataSource
		"searching":false, // Optional
		"paging":false,
		"aaSorting": [[1,'desc'], [2,'asc']], // Optional
		"responsive":true, // Optional
		"bAutoWidth":false, // Optional
        "orderable": true, // Part 1 - Always true.
	columns: [
        { data: "DATA","width": "20%"}, // ID
        { data: "Name" },	// eg. Name column in DataSource
        { data: "Address" },    // eg. Address column in DataSource
        { data: "DATA", "orderable": false }, // Part 2 - False when we need it.
        { data: "DATA" }, // DateOfBirth
		{ data: "DATA" },
        { data: "DATA" },
		{ data: "DATA" },
		{ data: "DATA" },
	    {data:  "DATA"}
    ]
	});});
</script>

You have no DataSource

And regarding that commented out section, You don't need to use mData there because aTargets already resolved that.

Take note of what i did with "orderable"

Updated to give op some clarity:

HTML

<script>		
$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#example').DataTable( {
        "ajax":{
		"url":"URL HERE",
		"cache": true,
		"dataSrc": "DATASOURCE",}, // eg. WHATEVER YOUR DATASOURCE IS
		"searching":false, // Optional
		"paging":false,
		"aaSorting": [[1,'desc'], [2,'asc']], // Optional
		"responsive":true, // Optional
		"bAutoWidth":false, // Optional
        "orderable": true, // Part 1 - Always true.
	 "columns": [
                { "data": "Estimate_ID" },
                { "data": "ESTIMATE_DESCRIPTION", "orderable": false },
                { "data": "FLIGHT_START_DATE" },
                 { "data": "FLIGHT_END_DATE" },
                { "data": "ESTIMATE_COMMENTS", "orderable": false },
                { "data": "AGENCY_ID"},
                 { "data": "UPD_DATE"},
                { "data": "PROC_DATE", "orderable": false },
                { "data": "ESTIMATE_CD"},
                 { "data": "SALES_ASSISTANT"},
                { "data": "AE_STAFF_ID", "orderable": false },
                { "data": "order_type_id"},
                { "data": "cost_type"}
            ]
	});});
</script>
