Sort
Sorting allows the user to reorder rows by the contents of a column. This is a live continuous sort, and new rows that get added or rows that get edited will be resorted immediately after, and you will not be able to manually reorder rows.
You can sort on multiple columns with multiple sort directions.
Known limitations
- If you have an active sort applied to the table, you will not be able to reorder rows since the sort overrides any manual reordering.
