Editor with RowReorder doesn't post ajax request if idSrc is other than DT_RowId

Description of problem:
See the test case. As written, it allows re-ordering of rows, which calls the ajax function.

However, if you change the first line to
var idKey = 'id';
(which sets the idSrc of the editor instance to "id" rather than "DT_RowId")
then it no longer works: when you drag rows to reorder, the ajax function is never called, and the order column is not updated in the UI.

My data source doesn't have a field DT_RowId, and I'd rather not have to create/assign one. Am I doing something wrong here, or is this a bug?

Thanks for the excellent example! Although the idSrc docs seem to indicate otherwise it looks like you need to set the Datatables option rowId, for example:

@allan will need to comment on whether needing rowId is expected for this case.

That did the trick. Thanks so much @kthorngren!
