Is it possible to get the column index after being moved by ColReorder to perform filtering?

I have a table that uses ColReorder but I'm also performing filtering via $.fn.dataTableExt.afnFiltering on a specific column. I've noticed that after a column reorder the indexes are changed to reflect the new order which means my filter breaks.

I'm wondering if it's possible to either get the new column reorder index to apply to the filter or simply get the original column index after the reorder somehow.

It looks as if this page could help, but I get a 404 error: http://www.datatables.net/release-datatables/extras/ColReorder/col_filter.html

I know I could use ids on the columns themselves and get the index that way, but I would like to use the index because the columns are dynamic by design.
