Jquery datatable searching, sorting is nt working

I am trying to create a table and apply sorting & searching for that fields. Finally, I found that using jquery datatable it is easy to create a table and apply sorting, search functionality to that. I have tried like this.

 <script>
   $(document).ready(function() {
            $('#example').dataTable( {
                  "dom": '<"top"i>rt<"bottom"flp><"clear">'
            } );
    } );
</script>

<p>
    @Html.ActionLink("Create New", "Create")
</p>


<table id="example" class="display" cellspacing="0" width="100%">

    <thead>
        <tr>
            <th>
                @Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.Name)
            </th>
            <th>
                @Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.Address)
            </th>
            <th>
                @Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.MobileNo)
            </th>
            <th>Options</th>
        </tr>
    </thead>
    @foreach (var item in Model)
{
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td>
                @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Name)
            </td>
            <td>
                @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Address)
            </td>
            <td>
                @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.MobileNo)
            </td>
            <td>
                @Html.ActionLink("Edit", "Edit", new { id = item.Id }) |
                @Html.ActionLink("Details", "Details", new { id = item.Id }) |
                @Html.ActionLink("Delete", "Delete", new { id = item.Id })
            </td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
}

</table>

But searching , pagination & sorting is not working. When I use normal html code it is working fine. But when I get data from database it is not working.
