How to read the re-ordered data in my controller

shaifali

Let me begin by saying, I am new to MVC and jQuery DataTables. I am using a service API that returns me JSON data. I put that data into a Model. Then I use datatable library with the row-reorder extension to render that Model. In terms of UI, it renders correctly and I am able to re-order the rows by dragging and dropping it. The functionality of the application is that the user can change the order of the rows and I have to send back the new order to the database using the API. Once they are done re-ordering everything, they click on an "Approve" button. My question is, how do I read the new ordered data into my Model and then access it in the controller?
Here is a sample of my Model. TermDetails is a list of terms that is rendered using DataTables. IndexTermRank is the order in which it should be displayed. This order can be modified by the user and I need to capture the new order :
