How to get (original) column index of column clicked after ColReorder

djm

Hello.

http://jsfiddle.net/b8xn0j12/21/

Works fine if the columns remain in the same order.
If we use ColReorder and the user moves the columns around, then this code reports different (index) values for the (same) column selected.
How can I uniquely determine when the user clicks on a column which (original) index this column originally had (before the user moved it around).

Many thanks in Advance.

If I were to assign a "name" this would stay independent of the user sorting the columns.
How can I access this name in the on click handler for the column header?

 $("#example").find("thead").on('click', 'th', function() 
      {
           var Col =  Table.column(this);
          // how do I access original column index or "name" here ??
      });
