title: How do I access the request object in a Django-CMS plugin?
body: <p>I have a Django-CMS plugin which is used to display a list of objects.  The required functionality of the plugin is that the list is paginated and can be re-ordered based on properties of the objects in the list.</p>
  
  <p>Handling this functionality with ajax is not an ideal solution in this particular case so I was planning on using django Paginator, which requires a 'page' querystring parameter, and passing a 'order' querystring parameter which I would then use to define the order of the queryset.</p>
  
  <p>The problem is that I can't see anyway of accessing the request object from within the plugins render function.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know if it's possible to access the request object from within the render function, or can suggest a workaround?</p>
