Retrieving Gridview's Sort Expression And Direction Via Javascript?

I was given help in a previous topic located here: Accessing Gridview In Another Form In this topic I had gridview rows that are selectable and a search window that returned search results. We found a way for me to select a row in the parent window of the search one. My issue now is that when the parent windows gridview is sorted, the function no longer selects the correct row. I was wondering if there was any way to access the gridviews sort expression and direction, or some other way I can do this so it accounts for sorting. Relavent code is as follow: This is in my parent window

<script type = "text/javascript">
function selectRow(index)
{
//Retrieve a reference to the table that represents the GridView
var gridView = document.getElementById('<%=gvSideList.ClientID%>');
if(gridView)
{
//If able to get a reference to the table representing the GridView...
var doPostbackArgument='Select$'+index;
__doPostBack('<%=gvSideList.ClientID%>',doPostbackArgument);
}
}

This is in the child window

<script type = "text/javascript" >
function selecttherow(index)
{
window.opener.selectRow(index);
}
</script>
protected void gvresults_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//declare variables
GridViewRow row;
int index;
int id;
//retrieve index, row, and id from gvresults
index = gvresults.SelectedIndex;
row = gvresults.Rows[index];
id = Convert.ToInt32(row.Cells[5].Text);
//fill a datatable from general with id's for selection
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT ID FROM General", csbg);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@id", id);
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
da.Fill(dt);
//loop through the dt and find the index of the matching id from the search window
for (int i = 0; i < dt.Rows.Count; i++)
{
if (dt.Rows[i]["ID"].Equals(id))
{
//execute script to select the matching row in the dataentry page
string script = "";
script += "selecttherow(";
script += i;
script += ");";
ScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this.Page, this.GetType(), "selecting", script, true);
break;
}
}
}

Let me know if you need me to further clarify anything.
