Colum Sort State

bsanders

I'm new to DataTables. I'm trying to find out if there is a way to get the state of the column's sort, for example, is the column sorted ascending or descending right at this moment? Where and how do I "get" that value out of the table?

You could use:

[code]
table.fnSettings().aaSorting
[/code]

to get the table's current sort state. Then a function could be built up around that to tell you what the sort state of a given column is - sounds like an ideal case for a plug-in :-)
