Capabilities question

I am trying to compare DataTables with SlickGrid and jqGrid. (Was using ExtJS with Grids, but looking into using jQuery instead.)

Desired features besides the standard sort-by-column are Column Reordering, and Column Selection (hide/show columns).

I see DataTables has both Column Reordering and Column Selection. Great!

However, I didn't see if it's possible to save the user's choices so they get the same setup the next time they come to the page.

Is this something you have to handle separately, is it something DataTables can do automatically, or is it just not feasible?

Thanks!

The bStateSave option will do this, and ColReorder will integrate with that ability to remember state: http://datatables.net/release-datatables/extras/ColReorder/state_save.html
