Sorting datatables using a particular field

Question

I'm using datatables as show here http://railscasts.com/episodes/340-datatables The default field for sorting is id and that is fine.

However, I also need to be able to redirect to this page from another page so that table must be sorted by another field. I find out what GET query is sent to a server, by it's very long, therefore, there must be another standard way.

So, how do I redirect to a page where this table located to that it causes it sort itself using a particular field?

You can find a solution on this post:

How can I get query string values in JavaScript?

Basically, it's exactly what you're trying to achieve, which is finding out what's coming on the query string.

are you implying I have to use that super-long string? I know I can use and achieve my goal, but is there any simpler way?
