Force reorder of a column to it's current or default order
column.toggleSort allows you to specify desc: boolean, to set the direction to ascending or descending. Is there any way to trigger a re-order to default order for the column? Removing the sort state won't work in my case as the column is really sorted manually based on the values of a sibling column. As far as the library is concerned, it's not even sorted to begin with (it's the sibling column which is sorted).6 Replies

The awkward set up is due to a workaround being used to 'fix' the behaviour of row grouping for column groups. If there's a better way to do that, I am also very open to that.

Is this api help?

State
Sorting state is stored on the table using the following shape:

No I'm afraid not. That really just removes the sort state from the table (or restores its initial value). Neither of which actually force a re-order.

Did you set
manualSorting to true? From my experience, the table row will be always sorted according to your sorting state even if your data has been changed. Do you have any snippets to share?other-emeraldOP•3y ago
No I'm not using manual sorting.
@Maintainer - Table after a bit more poking around I think this is actually a bug (or at least a limitation of the library). See example here: https://codesandbox.io/s/silly-johnson-tim07q
If (for example) you group on the Last Name column, then expand out the first few row groups, and then cycle through the sort order on the First Name column, you will see the subrows go into
asc order, then desc order, but then the subrows stay in desc order when you cycle back to the unsorted state. Intuitively I would expect them to return to their initial (unsorted) state. Do you agree?CodeSandbox

(due to the random data generation you may need to refresh the data a few times till you get a suitable dataset to see the problem - i.e. you need some row groups with three or more subrows which don't coincidentally already start in asc/desc order)
