Current behavior When sorting event is fired, the page is set back to first one.

Expected behavior When sorting event is fired, it should stay on current page.

Reproduction of the problem

1. http://swimlane.github.io/ngx-datatable/#client-sorting
2. Select page 4
3. Sort by any column

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior? When you have server side Huge paging, and are, for example, on page 80 from 100- you do some sorting and ‘Bang’ you are back on page 1. After that you have to get back to page ~20 or 80 to get same results. Very annoying.

<ngx-datatable #tableRows (sort)=“onSort($event)” …

@ViewChild(‘tableRows’) table: any;

Try to add this in onSort() function: this.table.bodyComponent.updateOffsetY(this.page.offset); this.table.offset = this.page.offset;
