Is there a way to capture which column the user clicked on for sorting and it's direction?

You can use one of:
1. Add a click listener in the header and read fnSettings().aaSorting
2. Listen for the 'sort' event and use
aaSorting
from the settings object
3. Use an
fnDrawCallback
function and check the
aaSorting
param from the settings object - which will occur on each draw.

The
fnDrawCallback
and
aaSorting
method worked great. Thanks!
