TableTools uses "display" data, can I change?

I have a table column on which I defined render to be a callback function inside which I offer different content for display than for other render types. It seems TableTools' export functions uses the display render type of columns ... is there a way to change that to filter or sort instead?

I would recommend switching from the Legacy TableTools extension to the newer extensions, youll get more support and stability from them. I dont know anything about TableTools, but I can help with the newer extensions

Before I answer to @jLinux, is there a way to also allow data manipulation before sending it to TableTools? For instance, I'd like to remove all new-lines in the exported data, but not in the live table.

EDIT: Argh! fnCellRender ... http://datatables.net/extensions/tabletools/button_options#fnCellRender

@jLinux, thanks, I know of the new extension and would gladly switch but I have some older code and less time at the moment to dig into the new stuff ... but still, how easy could I do what I asked above in the new extension? Maybe the new extension is what I need ...
