q-table - please add "sort direction" param to column definition

Here’s a video describing the problem: https://www.screencast.com/t/GtHFyqLMA

It would be wonderful if I could add an attribute as below that would set the default sort direction at the column level, rather than just once for the initial load in the pagination object:

{
  name: "globalblacklist",
  align: "center",
  label: "GBL",
  field: "globalblacklist",
  sortable: true,
  **sortDir: 'desc' || descending: true  //defines initial sort when column header is clicked**
},

Numeric columns are nearly always more useful sorted desc initially, whereas alpha columns are better sorted asc. This is the case whether the data comes from an array of objects or from an ajax call.

And since I’m stuck on Q1 at the moment, backporting it there would be great. Although having it in Q2 might be enough for me to make the switch…

Will be available in Quasar v2.0.0-beta.13 & Quasar v1.15.11: new prop (column-sort-order) and new “columns” definition prop (sortOrder).

Values: “ad” (ascending-descending) and “da” (descending-ascending). Default is “ad”.

Using your updated code worked. Thanks again for following up!
