	 * Readme...
	 * 
	 * This script is basically the same as the server_processing.php script, but with a couple of
	 * modifications to show how column reordering can be handled by DataTables. This is in two
	 * parts:
	 * 
	 *   1. Data from server to client - notice that the $aColumns array below is in a different
	 * order to that from the array in server_processing.php, but DataTables will render the
	 * table in the same order. This reordering is done on the client-side by using the sColumns 
	 * parameter which is passed back, stating the order which the server is sending data back in.
	 * DataTables will compaire this to the sName parameter for each column and reorder as needed.
	 * 
	 *   2. Data from client to server - in order that the columns can be sent to the server in
	 * any order (it is expected in this script that the server-side will always work with a static
	 * array which is not reordered dynamically) DataTables will send the parameter 'sColumns' which
	 * like it's return counterpart is a comma seperated list of the column names, telling the
	 * server-side what order the columns are being shown on the client-side. As such it is now
	 * possible to realise what column sSearch_{i} (for example) refers to. This is done by a look
	 * up of the aColumns array from the names sent in. Note that I've used the same names for the
	 * db table columns and the html table columns to make things a little clearer, but this is not
	 * required.
