Get Current Sort Column/Order - why doesn't fnSettings.aaSorting[0][0] work anymore?

Eugene_B

Why doesnt the following work anymore?

        'sortedCol' : table.settings().aaSorting[0][0], 
        'sortedDir' : table.settings().aaSorting[0][1]

I'm getting 'aaSettngs' not recognized, and also 'settings' not recognized.

Also, the following doesn't work:

        'sortedCol' : table.order().order[0][0], 
        'sortedDir' : table.order().order[0][1]

Cannot read property [0] of underfined

This is according to the settings() docs:

Generally speaking, use the information from the documented public API methods rather than that in this settings object, as the properties in it may change between versions.

The order() API looks like it will provide the information you need.
