Save sort order, sort expression and filter

ajw

How can I save the sort order, sort expression and any applied filters to a var / hiddenfield, of an asp:GridView with DataTables?

I'm looking for a way to pass these to my server-side logic, in order to apply the same sort and filtering to the underlying dataset, to pass the dataset elsewhere. Using ASP.NET Webforms (C#), not great at JS. Can this be done?
