Getting tablesorter properties

Getting tablesorter properties

Hey all.

I'm using tablesorter, which is a great plugin.
I need a bit of guidance tho.

I'd like to preserve the user's sort preferences between refreshes by stashing sortList in a cookie.
How would I pull the current sort column in order to store it?

I'm thinking of using the sortEnd event in order to grab the current sortList, but I can't seem to get it.

$('#mytable').tablesorter({sortList: [[0,0]] });  // default for now, but load from cookie if it exists.

$('#mytable').bind('sortEnd', function() {
      // need to get the current sortList here!
      $.cookie( 'sortList', ?????, { expire: 365 });
});

Any input would be appreciated.
