<h3>What about filtering/ordering?</h3>

Filter/sort info from each column is, well, included on each column.

To help you out, get only the columns which were ordered on client-side with <code>IDataTablesRequest.GetSortedColumns()</code>.
49-
Than, iterate through then and use <code>Column.SortDirection</code> to sort your dataset.
48+
To help you out, there are two methods on <code>ColumnCollection</code> to help you out:<br />
49+
<code>IDataTablesRequest.Columns.GetSortedColumns()</code> will return an ordered enumeration of sorted columns.<br />
50+
<code>IDataTablesRequest.Columns.GetFilteredColumns()</code> will return an enumeration of columns which were actually filtered on client-side.

// Apply filter to your dataset based only on the columns that actually have a search value.

var filteredColumns = requestParameters.Columns.GetFilteredColumns();

foreach(var column in filteredColumns)

Filter(column.Data, column.Search.Value, column.Search.IsRegexValue);
