Add a parameter value to the fnReorderCallback

[benoitmarineau]

the fnReorderCallback was called without returning any values. it now returns an object with some basic info

Hi,

Thanks for this! I don't see any problem with it, but I've been thinking about how best to improve the ColReorder interface. As such, I'm not going to pull this in immediately, but rather wait until I've had a little more time to think about how to move ColReorder forwards.

Despite my hesitation (which is of my own making), I really like the look of this. Can you confirm that you would be happy for this to be released under the current MIT license if I do pull it in please?

Feel free to use it and enhance it the way you want it :)
As long as it have some sort of reference to the current table and also the colReorder indexes (from and to)

+1 for this. Are there any known work arounds right now where I could get what item actually moved?

Yes, listen for the column-reorder event.

From the code:

$(oSettings.oInstance).trigger( 'column-reorder', [ oSettings, {
    "iFrom": iFrom,
    "iTo": iTo,
    "aiInvertMapping": aiInvertMapping
} ] );

Finally been looking into this (sorry for the massive time delay) - the issue with passing back swapped information in the callback is that there might actually have been multiple columns changed, not just one. I think the column-reorder.dt event is probably the preferred option to know when column ordering is changed at the moment.
