<description>
This method is used to get the data used for the cells in the column matched by the selector from DataTables.
Please note that the order of the data in the returned array and which rows the data is obtained from (searched rows, visible rows etc) is controlled by the `dt-type selector-modifier` option of the `dt-api column()` selector used to get the selected column.
Additionally, if the selector used in `dt-api column()` matches more than one column, the result set will be truncated to a single column - the first one in the result set.
