Keeping colums sort order AFTER page refresh

Hi all, I'm normally a server side developer and I have a new Job which, though demanding I enjoy a lot as it is forcing me to polish my clitent side skills!

So the problem I have is this, I have a page that displays a LOT of data, the previous developer used Data Tables to display new user data. We can do all the things that a Data Table normally displays, I can filter etc. But the problem I have is when adding a new user a modal light box opens and we edit/add a new user, the user saves and the page reloads to include the new/edited user data in the revised table.

and this is the crux of the issue. How can I save the previous state of the table and reload in its previous state?

I really want to ajax this so that there does not need to be a full page refresh (it was written originally to load up hundreds of tables, I am rewriting so that each tab click loads the table when a tab is clicked.

I can use a lightbox correctly to store the data without having to perform a redirtect or a page refresh, what I need to happen is when the lightbox closes the data table refreshes to reflect the new changes while staying in the same order and on the same page.

Seriously any help or any pointers would help a great deal.

Jim
