Mui-datatables: Define Default Sorting

[drdouglasghd]

Is there a way to define a default sort?

What do you mean? a default sort order or a default sorting function?

[drdouglasghd]

I have an integer column, and I want the initial/default sort of the table to be on that column in asc order.

Is there a way to set a default sort... or maybe I pre-sort the data prior to passing it to the datatable?

@drdouglasghd I think you can do something like this:

const columns = [
{ name: 'ColA' },
{ name: 'ColB', options: { sortDirection: 'asc' } },
{ name: 'ColC' },
];

[drdouglasghd]

If we do that, it marks the column as sorted... but doesn't sort the data. So this works if your data is presorted in this order.

Can confirm it only appears sorted but isn't. This method doesn't call customSort method either.

[gregnb]

That's correct. The method is not being called. Anyone want to take this up as PR?

This issue should be resolved
