Current behavior The current sorting behavior is working ASC on the first click and there is not any property to specify the the default sorting direction on the first click.

Expected behavior It would be great to have a property, lets say ‘sortingDirectionAtFirst’, where we could change the sorting direcction on the first click. currently the datatable is working very well, but there is not any way to change the direccion on the first click to DESC for all the columns.

        <ngx-datatable
            class="material"
            [rows]="reportData"
            [sortingDirectionAtFirst]="DESC">    
</ngx-datatable>     

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior? It would be nice to have the ability to change the sorting direction at the first click.

Please tell us about your environment:

• Table version: 10.2.3

• Angular version: 4.0.0

• Browser: All

• Language: TypeScript 2.4.2

Thank you

Totally behind this idea - in almost every case, for our use cases, the first click would want to be descending, as opposed to ascending. Having this controllable as an option per column would be awesome.

Would second this request but would need it to be on a column by column basis. Example use case, We have a table of items with string and number columns. We want to configure the string columns to sort ascending by default and the numbers to sort descending by default.
